Happy to announce that I became a @MunsterFA Council Member recently.
Looking forward to getting to know representatives from all leagues across Munster and seeing what's in store for football in the province going forward 👍🏽#MunsterSoccer pic.twitter.com/wXeqC4lqlF

Peter Harrington’s time on the Munster FA began at the start of the 1992 / 1993 season where he joined the council as an independent member, as the CBL was represented by Jackie O’Driscoll until the 2001 / 2002 season when Harrington became the league’s official representative.
Since then, Peter Harrington was voted Chairman of the MFA for two seasons starting with the 2004 / 2005 season, following a term as Vice Chairman from 2002 to 2004. During his time as Chairman, he was presented with a Long Service Recognition Award in 2004 for his efforts and commitment to the CBL, the MFA and the FAI over the years. His commanding voice and distinctive ability to control a room led him to serve on various sub-committees of the MFA until recently.
- Referees Committee
- Protest and Appeals Committee
- Grounds Committee (Chairman, 2014 – 2020)
- Disciplinary Committee (Chairman, 2000 – 2020)
- Executive Committee
- Finance Committee
Peter also was an influential member of many committees for the wider FAI Junior and Senior Councils since the 2001 / 2002 season and is a well-known character up in FAI HQ in Abbotstown.
The Cork Business League would like to thank Peter Harrington for his devotion to amateur soccer in Cork & Munster over the years and wish Peter Travers the best of luck in his new role as an MFA Council Member.
