Limerick board chief rejects intimidation claim in strike saga

LIMERICK chairman Liam Lenihan last night rejected claims that his board has been involved in a campaign of intimidation and bullying against members of the 2009 hurling squad who refuse to play under Justin McCarthy.

The long running saga on Shannonside is set to dominate tonight’s scheduled meeting of the Limerick County Board in Claughan.

“There is one item on the agenda, ‘Response from Croke Park to request for mediation in senior hurling impasse’ (Croke Park turned down the request),” said county PRO Helen Cross yesterday.
