Cooney: outside help won’t help Treaty

GAA PRESIDENT Christy Cooney says that an external facilitator will not solve the Limerick hurling impasse.

County chairman Liam Lenihan mooted the appointment of an independent third party after the latest meeting of officials in Claughan this week and also claimed that the executive was willing to sit down with the players who are refusing to play under Justin McCarthy.

Cooney said: “With regard to Limerick, I don’t know whether an external facilitator is going to help at this stage.
