Diarmuid Connolly insists Dessie Farrell stay is vital to Dublin 

Six-time All-Ireland winner Connolly said he has heard plenty of rumours about St Vincent's clubmate Ger Brennan, who took Louth to an All-Ireland quarter-final, potentially replacing Farrell for 2025.

Diarmuid Connolly reckons it's 'very important' that Dessie Farrell remains in charge of Dublin for a sixth consecutive season.

The Dubs suffered their earliest exit from a Championship campaign in 15 years when they were beaten by Galway at the All-Ireland quarter-final stage last month.
