The GAA are to investigate serious claims by the Central Hearings Committee (CHC) that some of their members were canvassed ahead of Clare hurler Ian Galvin’s hearing on Monday night.

The CHC have contacted Management Committee about communications allegedly made by an individual to CHC officials concerning the forward’s case. It is understood the person in question is neither a member of the Clare executive nor part of the senior hurling management team.
