DECLAN KELLY has stepped down as chairman and chief executive of global advisory firm Teneo, sponsors of Tipperary’s Gaelic football and hurling teams.

In what will come as a blow to his friend, club-mate, and work colleague senior hurling manager Liam Sheedy, as well as Tipperary GAA, the Portroe man has removed himself from the role following an incident at a fundraising concert last month.
