Limerick crisis talks fail to make breakthrough

Crisis talks involving Limerick GAA’s top officials failed to find a resolution last night following Treasurer Donal Morrissey’s quit threat.

Morrissey, father of county senior hurling panellists Dan and Tom, was on the verge of resigning his position ahead of a board executive meeting at Munster GAA headquarters in Castletroy but shortly before 10pm, the gathering was adjourned without a significant breakthrough.

It is understood discussions may take place again later today following revelations Morrissey intended to step down if the proposed appointment of secretary Mike O’Riordan was rubber-stamped.
