Former Clare referees administrator Seánie McMahon has expressed his “deep upset and hurt” at being removed from the position he was elected to in 2022.

In a statement seen by the Irish Examiner, the 2004 Munster SHC final referee claimed he was last month told to vacate the role by county chairman Kieran Keating and head of operations Deirdre Murphy.
