Six-time All-Ireland winner Paul Mannion has confirmed he won’t be returning to Dublin duty in 2022, potentially spelling the end of his inter-county career.

The AIB Leinster club finalist stopped short of pulling down the shutters on his Dublin days but said he will be focusing exclusively on playing for Kilmacud Crokes again this year, like he did in 2021.
