GAA probe opens into minor game fracas and Shefflin injury

THE Games Administration Committee has begun its investigation into the disgraceful scenes which followed the drawn Cork/Laois All-Ireland minor football quarter-final in Limerick on Saturday.

They will also begin another investigation into the controversial incident the same day in the Guinness quarter-final replay in Thurles after television pictures identified Gerry Quinn as the player involved in the incident which led to Henry Shefflin’s eye injury.

Shefflin’s appearance in next Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final against Waterford is considered only ‘a possibility’ at this stage.
