Cooney to mediate in Tipp dispute

FORMER Munster Council Chairman Christy Cooney is to mediate in the row between the Tipperary football board, the county board and the senior football side.

Cooney’s appointment was recommended by the Munster Council and it has been indicated that he is acceptable to all parties.

The mediation process is set to begin immediately in an effort to end a conflict which has its roots in the decision to withdraw the team from the All-Ireland football qualifier against Fermanagh in June.
