Allegations of bullying in Munster’s negligence – Ireland’s own top-down shortcomings undermining the tennis court | Ireland

There could be any fun pun that applies to the Irish Civil War at a time when Munster is confined to the ongoing power struggle between three other provinces. With no Irish player among the top 500 in the world of tennis, it’s hardly surprising that the turmoil has been largely ignored in clubhouses across the country, experiencing a sharp rise in membership because tennis is a non-contact sport. Except when it comes to the Tennis Ireland meeting room.

Its president, Shane Cooke, and two leaders, also from Munster, have been fired. One Cork-based director, Clifford Carroll, the longest-serving board member and former president of Tennis Ireland, said he was expelled from the board.
