Fire laws keep TV crews out

THE Munster Council is hopeful that the fire authorities will permit a live telecast of the second of the Guinness hurling semi-finals between Cork and Clare in Thurles next Sunday.

However, much will depend on a meeting tomorrow. A court order granted to the Fire Officer on Friday forced the cancellation of live coverage of yesterday’s Waterford/Limerick game, increasing attendance to over 34,000.

Council Chairman Christy Cooney expressed regret at the inability to televise the game, as well as the loss of promotion.
