IT was only a couple of weeks ago that Offaly senior hurling manager Joe Dooley wrote a letter to the secretary of the county board, a letter copied to the secretary of every club in the county, complaining of the treatment of his players and management team at the county ground, O’Connor Park in Tullamore.

The Offaly County Board have confirmed that they will respond to the issues raised this week by senior hurling manager Joe Dooley - but only after Offaly's All-Ireland SHC campaign has ended.
