Tipp chief calls for introduction of video referees

TIPPERARY county board chairman Barry O’Brien has called for the introduction of video referees in next year’s championships.

O’Brien’s club Fr. Sheehy’s has put forward a motion to Monday’s Premier County annual convention calling for the appointment of two video referees, in both codes, for all provincial finals, All-Ireland quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals.

If passed by delegates, the motion will go before the GAA’s motions committee for consideration and could appear on the official Clár for annual Congress in 2010.
