Dublin manager Dessie Farrell has confirmed that Pat Gilroy is unlikely to have any involvement with the All-Ireland title holders until after the National League at best.

Gilroy, who guided Dublin to their breakthrough All-Ireland win in 2011, returned to the backroom last year and was described by Farrell as a useful 'sounding board' during their successful 2023 season. Gilroy wore a Maor Uisce bib on All-Ireland final day against Kerry.
