Wallace quits and takes RTÉ to task

Former Antrim hurling manager Jerry Wallace last night launched a blistering attack on RTÉ claiming the broadcaster ‘undermined his integrity.’

Wallace , who quit his role as Saffron boss yesterday, stated in an interview with The Irish News earlier this week that he had spoken to RTÉ personnel covering Antrim’s Leinster SHC defeat to Westmeath asking them to ‘deflate’ an incident involving Cormac Donnelly and to “lose that video.”

However, an RTÉ statement which appeared in Friday’s Irish Examiner insisted that “none of the RTÉ Sport crew were approached regarding the footage by Jerry Wallace as alleged.”
