The first e-mail read as follows:

‘If you fail to respond to this email by December 1st confirming that all money will be returned by December 31st then I will be left with no option but to instruct my legal team to commence legal proceedings to recover all money.”

The next correspondence read as follows:

"I have just completed an interview with a national media outlet where I have made disclosures... in relation to events leading up to the 2019 Convention and shared taped conversations/emails which are explosive to say the least

“Unless I hear from you by 5pm on Wednesday October 27 I will be approving the interview to go public."

The third message shown was as follows:

"Your speech today from the steps of the Hogan Stand was truly unique. Not even Biden or Trump has pardoned as many criminals in one go."

"What we witnessed today was one of the clearest examples of organizational narcissism. A GAA President who sees himself as superior, resists accountability, manipulates the public image of the organization, and prioritises the interests of the leadership over its volunteers."

The next message read as follows:

"The public backing by Jarlath Burns for all the hard working members of the MCB and the wonderful Valerie Murphy (a qualified chartered accountant running her own business) was an early Xmas present and put a huge target on all of your backs and raised alarm bells to the whole GAA community about the MCB conduct."

The fifth e-mail displayed was as follows:

"Please understand that I have serious intellectual and financial resources available to me to develop and sustain a campaign, and I am now fully committed to go all the way with this.

“Please remember, I exposed a [REDACTED] for asking me to treat him like royalty, so no one is safe. And I mean NO ONE!"

"You need to understand that ignoring such offers comes with consequences. You and those like you who participate in corruption and/or cover up corruption will be exposed. And exposed in the most public manner.”

The sixth email read as follows:

"I have destroyed [REDACTED]

“I now know this is going to be a long campaign but I am seriously motivated and resourced to see this all the way."

"You are a long time hanging around Mayo GAA. You know how corrupt it is. You are part of that."

The seventh email, sent to the county board chairman Seamus Tuohy in the wake of his absence at a County Board meeting. He was in hospital at the time.

"Your failure to turn up to the MCB meeting again tonight... shows you are a lying coward. You had one job and you f****d it up big time again"

The eighth email reads as follows:

"You need resign or you will be sued, reported to the Guards and reported to Revenue and this will all be done in the public spotlight."

"If you are still an officer of MCB after June 1 2025 I will escalate immediately. If you are in any doubt of what I am capable of let me remind you of how I exposed Enda Kenny - no [REDACTED] is [REDACTED]e"

The tenth email reads as follows:

"I am calling for you also to resign asap, you should enjoy your retirement and spend time with your loved ones... and of course focus on your health

“The alternative is not going to be very pleasant - it is going to involve a public humiliation for you and certain legal action against you"

The eleventh email reads as follows.

"In the next 6 months you will be publicly humiliated, probably lose your professional licence as a chartered accountant but worst of all your friends and family will turn their backs on you..."

"You are now the number 1 target If we take you out – mayo gaa will have a much brighter future"

The twelfth email reads as follows.

"The hole you are both in gets deeper and deeper and the pressure is mounting every day....."

"You have both significantly damaged the Mayo GAA brand.

“There will be another press release later in the week with new revelations about your legal and corrupt behaviour – it’s going to get serious traction."
