Éamonn Fitzmaurice: ‘I have a lot of failings. But one thing I will not do is lie’
The Kerry manager was in camp with his squad at Johnstown House in Enfield, Co Meath, last week and didn’t pore over the reams of coverage. One claim, however, in a local paper in Kerry, was brought to his attention — the suggestion that he was less than honest with the reason for O’Sullivan’s absence from the panel last spring.
“It was suggested I more or less lied around this time last year about him not being available because, I said he was injured. Brendan was injured. (Now) that was convenient to me, I went back to check my notes, he had a hip injury, a minor groin tear, a minor quad tear. So he actually hadn’t resumed training with us.
