Seamus Harnedy hopes the GAA’s Central Appeals Committee (CAC) in Croke Park this evening clear him to play against Tipperary on May 12.

What was so arresting about Michael Cohen’s appearance in front of a House Intelligence Committee in Washington last week was his claims about how Donald Trump likes to get things done.

The motions for Congress will be released this morning with Donegal’s intention to prevent a team (Dublin) designating Croke Park as a home venue set to generate the most debate.

The dispute between Kildare and the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) regarding the venue for their round 3 qualifier fixture against Mayo has been resolved.

Kildare president Seamus Aldridge is surprised, given Ned Quinn’s previous experience in Kilkenny, that the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) chairman decided the county can’t host their All-Ireland SFC qualifier against Mayo in St Conleth’s Park on Saturday because of capacity issues.

New Munster hurling format carries fears with cheers

In 2011, for the second year in a row, former inter-county referee and Irish Examiner columnist John Bannon put forward a motion to GAA Congress via his club Legan Sarsfields to take referees out of the process of issuing proposed retrospective suspensions, writes John Fogarty.

Waterford defender Tadhg de Búrca will play no part in Sunday’s All-Ireland senior hurling semi-final against Cork, after his last-ditch appeal to the independent Disputes Resolution Authority failed, writes Jackie Cahill.

it might have been Jim Gavin who appeared in front of the media on Sunday but he could have been mistaken for Little Britain’s Vicky Pollard with his “yeah but, no but” defence of Diarmuid Connolly, writes John Fogarty.

It was the end of the world as we knew it. That’s what we were told, anyway. That the reprieve offered to Diarmuid Connolly by two of the three men sitting on the Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA) panel had taken a match to the GAA’s disciplinary system.

Has there ever been a more anticipated Kerry line-up? 

Donegal are set to escape punishment as a result of using one player too many in the closing stages of Saturday’s drawn Ulster semi-final.

Victorious Ballyboden St Endas manager Andy McEntee hit out at the GAA after midfielder Declan O’Mahoney failed in having his one-match suspension rescinded ahead of the All-Ireland final.

Away from the field, the GAA have a busy five months ahead. Our correspondent looks at the 10 things to expect...

IF IT wasn’t so serious the irony would be delicious. Two legal eagles shooting down a ban, which had been upheld by the GAA’s three main disciplinary arms, largely on the basis that an All-Ireland semi-final means more than most games.

GAA Director General Páraic Duffy has insisted that the Association’s disciplinary structures do not need change despite a number of recent controversies.

Lee Keegan has admitted he provoked Diarmuid Connolly prior to the Dublin forward being sent off in last Sunday week’s drawn All-Ireland semi-final.

Diarmuid Connolly benefited from an almost identical assessment in New England Patriots quarter-back’s Tom Brady’s suspension appeal case last week to successfully quash the ublin star’s one-match ban on Saturday.

We await the exact reasoning behind the Disputes Resolution Authority’s decision to rescind Diarmuid Connolly’s red card but it can safely be said the GAA’s appeals structure is undermining the authority of referees on and off the field.

The sanction was opposed on technical issues, with the substantive matter left to one side. 

Diarmuid Connolly is set to be named in the Dublin team to face Mayo tomorrow in the hope he will be allowed to play.

Sports law expert Professor Jack Anderson believes the GAA has to be more understanding of the social media stresses and strains placed on inter-county players.

Tomorrow's Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-finals are unlikely to go ahead, after Mary Immaculate College have confirmed this evening that an appeal has been submitted to the Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA) over the reinstatement of IT Carlow in the competition.

Both of today's Fitzgibbon Cup Hurling quarter-finals are postponed after IT Carlow were reinstated in the competition last night, following a meeting of the GAA’s Central Appeals Committee (CAC).

It escaped the attention of the press box in Killarney at the time but Michael Conroy was indeed a temporary replacement (ie, a blood substitute) for Evan Regan on Sunday, writes John Fogarty.

The 2014 season wasn’t without its fair share of disputes and furore. But just where does the likes of Shane Enright’s non-black card, Parade-gate and Stephen O’Keeffe’s safety-defying save from Anthony Nash rank in the GAA’s biggest on-field Championship controversies since 2000?

In an exclusive extract from his autobiography, Paul Galvin gives his account of slapping referee Paddy Russell’s notebook from his hands during the Munster semi-final in 2008.
