Clare chief slams Sunday Game for Quinn remarks

CLARE secretary Pat Fitzgerald has launched a stinging criticism of RTÉ’s The Sunday Game for having “pilloried and publicly castigated” Gerry Quinn earlier this year.

Kilkenny’s Henry Shefflin suffered a severe facial injury following a tussle with Quinn in the Guinness All-Ireland SHC quarter-final.

Fitzgerald accepts that the Clare player inflicted the injury but stressed that television footage “didn’t show there was any malicious intent.”
