Leinster chairman Derek Kent has been nominated for the GAA presidency, joining Ger Ryan as a potential successor to Jarlath Burns.<\/p>\n
Burns was elected as the 41st president of the association and his three-year term will end in 2026.<\/p>\n
GAA Congress will vote next February for his successor, with Wexford native Kent the second name in the mix following his nomination by the Wexford County Board.<\/p>\n
The Taghmon-Camross clubman served as county chair from 2017 to 2020 and has been Leinster chair since 2023. He chaired the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) for three years during Larry McCarthy\u2019s presidency.<\/p>\n
Last month Tipperary County Board nominated Ryan, Munster chairman for three years up to January of this year, for the position.<\/p>\n
