Munster GAA will vote next month on a Clare proposal to give unseeded counties in the province's senior football championship permanent home advantage at the semi-final and final stage of the competition, for as long as the new League-based seeding format is in place.

In advance of the new format taking effect from next year, Clare have tabled a proposal that, if passed, would deny Cork and Kerry home advantage in their respective Munster semi-finals whenever they are the province’s two seeded teams.
