Clare will vote against extending the inter-county season by two weeks, while Limerick’s Congress delegation have been given free rein to decide on the day. Requiring 60% approval, the motion drawn up by the sub-committee Jarlath Burns put together appears destined for failure. Limerick officials on Wednesday confirmed to the Irish Examiner that their delegation will decide on the day after hearing all arguments for and against the motion.

In principle, we’re fully in agreement with the amateur status review motions, we’d like to support that, but we would need more information.”
