O’Neill: We don’t want to see legends

GAA president Liam O’Neill moved to bring clarity last night to the festering controversy over sideline access for team selectors and medics.

Kerry boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice ventilated his growing frustration yesterday at the “Croke Park diktat” which left two Kingdom selectors with 12 All-Ireland medals between them communicating with their manager through a wire fence in Killarney last Sunday in the Munster SFC win over Tipperary.

And with the Kingdom back at Fitzgerald Stadium this evening for a provincial semi-final against Waterford, Fitzmaurice expressed dismay that legends Mikey Sheehy and Diarmuid Murphy are being treated as such while reporters and stewards are permitted in the dugouts and along the sideline.
