Tipperary officials are hopeful coach and selector Tommy Dunne will be able to resume his role before the Munster SHC Round 3 game against Limerick on May 8.

Based on referee Johnny Murphy’s match report, the Central Competitions Control Committee proposed a 12-week ban for the Toomevara man. Dunne was sent to the stand after a verbal exchange with the Limerick official before the start of the second half in Walsh Park.
