Limerick refusing to rush hurling appointment

LIMERICK GAA chiefs are prepared to wait until the October meeting of the county board before ratifying their new hurling boss, insisting they won’t rush the Independent Appointments Committee into making a decision.

The committee, comprised of former hurlers Damien Quigley and Paudie Fitzmaurice, and Dairygold CEO Jim Woulfe, have conducted interviews in recent weeks with the seven candidates that were nominated for the position.

Dave Keane, Gary Kirby, Ciaran Carey, Leo O’Connor, TJ Ryan, Val Murnane and Justin McCarthy are all in the frame for the job, but it is still unclear whether the committee have targeted their own candidates for interview.
