O’Neill says sorry for Hawk-Eye error that cost Limerick

GAA president Liam O’Neill has apologised to Limerick for the Hawk-Eye error, which cost them in last August’s All-Ireland minor hurling final.

At the time, the UK-based score detection technology company held their hand up for their system erroneously judging Barry Nash’s shot as a wide. However, they never said sorry to Limerick for the malfunction in a game which they lost to Galway in extra-time.

But speaking at Limerick’s 2013 medal presentation in the Greenhills Hotel in the city on Sunday night, O’Neill took the opportunity to apologise for which he was applauded by the 350-strong crowd.
