Whether it’s discipline or hand-passes, Limerick understand, like Kilkenny in the 2000s, that with silverware comes the spotlight, some of it unfair.

Before the question was finished, the answer seemed to be on Barry Nash’s lips.

Prior to William O’Donoghue being retrospectively banned for a game following a throw-in skirmish in the Division 1 semi-final win over Tipperary, his Limerick colleague was asked about discipline in the wake of Kyle Hayes being suspended. Hayes missed the Westmeath Division 1, Group A game following a review of an incident involving Galway’s Brian Concannon in Salthill.
