So in essence it was a merry go round of former, current even resigned delegates either back in former positions or into new positions.
Was there one single new person elected today?
I was reading the report in the Connaught on Wednesday about who was going for election and even the lads who resigned on foot of the "Mcstay affair" were all back in for election....

Exactly, just a pantomime and nothing else.

This is the piece from the Connaught
http://www.con-telegraph.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2014/11/12/4033809-diskin-to-oppose-lambe-for-gaa-treasurers-job/

VOTING contests for many of the top posts in the Mayo GAA county convention should ensure a capacity crowd in the Park Hotel, Kiltimagh, on Sunday, December 7. With the closing date for nominations for the different positions closed as from Sunday night last, The Connaught Telegraph can confirm that among the contests will be the positions of chairman and treasurer.

We can confirm that the present vice-chairman, Mike Connelly, will be challenged for the chairman’s position by former county board secretary Sean Feeney.

There were some conflicting reports that Feeney might not be in the race as it was reported in other media circles that no nomination had been received for him up to late Sunday evening. But we can confirm that his club, Ballintubber, nominated him for the chairman’s job on Thursday night and that he will contest the position.

The current chairman, Paddy McNicholas, has already announced he will be stepping down from the top post at the convention.

But the battle for the chair is just one of many intriguing contests. Another major battle is in store for the treasurer’s position after Castlebar Mitchels’ Michael Diskin was nominated to contest the position. He will go head-to-head with present treasurer J.P. Lambe.

Diskin, if successful, would have no difficulty taking over the finances of the county board as he was the assistant treasurer up to just over a month ago. The Castlebar Mitchels clubman resigned from the position of assistant treasurer last month over the controversy over the appointment of a new county senior football manager.

As for the position of assistant treasurer, it will be a two-horse race also with south Mayo chairman Ger McHugh up against Belmullet native and presently attached to St. Sylvester’s, Dublin, P.J. Monaghan.

With Gerry Henry’s tenure as Mayo Central Council delegate at an end there will be a straight contest to replace him between current Bord na nÓg secretary Sean McHale and former Mayo County Board chairman James Waldron.

With Willie Kelly’s five-year term as Connaught Council delegate at an end, three candidates have been nominated to contest this position, Breaffy’s Gerry Bourke, Kiltimagh’s Paddy McNicholas and Louisburgh’s Michael Dan O’Malley.

Gerry Henry, Castlebar Mitchels, Willie Kelly, Kilmeena, and Tommy Goonan, Kiltane, have been nominated to contest the development officer’s job.
