Former GAA president and Monaghan native Seán McCague has passed away at the age of 77.
The Scotstown man held the role of GAA president for three years between 2000 and 2003. During his time at the helm of the association, he oversaw the abolition of Rule 21 which prevented British Army and police officers from becoming GAA members.
He became the first Monaghan man to be President of the GAA when he took the job after Joe McDonagh's spell in charge. Along with the abolition of Rule 21, McCague was in charge of the association when the qualifiers system was implemented in the All Ireland Senior Football Championship.
