The GAA has recommended that fines, rather than suspensions, be handed down to the Dublin and Armagh county boards.

"I certainly have a view that every game has to be followed by the same rules and when an incident occurs, it should be investigated in the exact same way for all games, no difference."

Jim Gavin has clarified Dublin footballer Davy Byrne did not sustain a broken eye socket, rather a fractured nose, as a result of a pre-match incident in a challenge game against Armagh last Thursday.
