"Whilst results were disappointing in 2017, Peter had proposed many corrective measures to improve team performance and with a rebuilding process for the betterment of Laois football in the future and had the support of Laois GAA Executive committee and panel of players in implementing this.

"However, having given consideration to the views of certain club delegates and rumours arising from a recent County Committee, Peter has decided rather than creating a divisiveness within the county, not to seek reappointment in the best interests of Laois football.

"Laois GAA wish Peter and his management team well in their future football endeavours.

"The Executive Committee will commence the process of considering suitable candidates to replace Peter and his management team at the earliest opportunity."
