Dean Rock has said the Dublin training session at Innisfails GAA club on March 31 was the sole occasion where members of the Dublin football panel trained collectively during the ban on such gatherings.

Rock confirmed yesterday he was not present at the end of March Dublin football session that led to manager Dessie Farrell being hit with a three-month suspension by Croke Park.
