Laois GAA chairman Peter O'Neill has revealed that the process of replacing Eddie Brennan as manager began within two hours of his departure.

A subcommittee chaired by former Laois hurler Eamon Jackman, who also headed up the group that sourced Brennan in September 2018, has been convened to find a new man.
