Treaty chief claims fans victims of decision to stage final at Páirc

Limerick chairman Oliver Mann has slammed the Munster Council’s decision to stage the provincial hurling decider at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on July 13.

Though previously stating the Shannonsiders had no reservations travelling to Leeside, Mann yesterday revealed Limerick GAA chiefs had lobbied the Munster Council not to fix the game at the Cork venue.

The Limerick chairman said the decision to fix the game at Páirc Uí Chaoimh will deprive thousands of supporters the opportunity to attend the showpiece event.
