GAA won’t intervene in Limerick crisis, insists Cooney

THE GAA has ratcheted up the pressure on Limerick hurling manager Justin McCarthy by confirming they won’t be intervening in the Shannonside crisis.

Mediation by Croke Park officials was first mooted last week as a potential means to bridge the gaping divide between McCarthy and the majority of his 2009 panel.

However, GAA president Christy Cooney yesterday made it clear that, following consultation with all interested parties, Croke Park won’t now be getting involved.
