O’Neill ‘relishing’ hurling debate

GAA President Liam O’Neill is relishing a national debate on the future of how hurling is governed and played.

At yesterday’s Allianz Hurling League launch, O’Neill revealed plans are in place to commence discussions on how the game can be improved.

He admitted the rationale behind the move follows comments by Kilkenny legends Eddie Keher and Brian Cody who have expressed fears in recent months about the direction hurling is travelling.
