Cusack dismisses Dáil bid speculation

DONAL ÓG CUSACK has dismissed speculation he may shelve the rest of his hurling career to concentrate on a political role with Sinn Féin.

The long-serving Cork keeper, 33, has been linked with a potential general election bid on behalf of the Republican Party in the Cork East constituency.

He has a huge sporting profile having won three All-Ireland titles with Cork and first stepped onto the panel in 1996.
