GAC stops short of ejecting Cork and Laois minors

THE GAA’s Games Administration Committee of the GAA has stopped short of ejecting Laois and Cork from the All-Ireland MFC after their melee in Limerick.

The GAC has issued a raft of stiff suspensions and fines in the wake of the controversy, however.

A total of eight players, five from Laois and three from Cork, have been suspended for periods ranging from eight to 12 weeks, while one Cork team official has been suspended for 48 weeks. Both county boards have been fined €5,000.
