Dempsey lashes pace of GAC investigation

FORMER Westmeath boss Luke Dempsey has hit out at the pace of the investigation into the controversial incident that left county defender Kenny Larkin with a broken jaw last May.

The young star clashed with Down’s James McCartan in a challenge match and suffered extensive jaw damage back when Dempsey was in charge.

Dempsey noted how Larkin, a trainee garda at the time, was forced to drink through a straw for weeks afterwards and had metal plates inserted into his chin to correct a badly broken jaw.
