O’Brien threatens to quit over Corcoran controversy

TIPPERARY County Board Secretary Michael O’Brien has threatened to resign from his position over Croke Park’s handling of the Eamonn Corcoran controversy.

"I will have to seriously consider my position," said an angry Mr O'Brien, after it was officially confirmed that the GAA have ruled as "out of order" the appeals by Corcoran and the Tipperary County Board against the 12-week suspension imposed on the defender by the GAC.

Corcoran received the ban in April following his sending-off in the Allianz NHL clash against Galway at Pearse Stadium.
