Dessie Farrell says the GAA’s team registration protocol "isn’t fit for purpose” after he was forced to name a reduced Dublin squad for their Leinster quarter-final against Wicklow.

After going with a group of 24 players to Aughrim instead of the regular 26, the manager has requested the county board propose a change to the championship code to Croke Park.
