Archbishop of Cashel calls for Tipp peace offering

Archbishop of Cashel Dermot Clifford has called for the Premier County to offer Fermanagh a tournament game as a goodwill gesture, in light of the Tipp football team failing to fulfil their All-Ireland qualifier against the Ernesiders during the summer.

Former football boss Andy Shorthall and his selectors resigned during the summer in protest at the fixing of a club hurling tie involving two members of the football panel just days before Tipp were due to play Fermanagh.
