Accusations to be addressed at Limerick meeting

March 09, 2010
Limerick county board chairman Liam Lenihan has said that the accusations made by the exiled players from the county hurling squad would be addressed at tonight's scheduled meeting at Claughaun.

The meeting is also set to discuss the unsuccessful attempt of the executive to bring in mediators from Croke Park to try and resolve the ongoing row in the county, which has seen Justin McCarthy come under severe pressure in his position as county senior hurling boss.

Up to last night there was no motion of no confidence tabled in the current management.

On the meditation issue, Seamus Hickey said the players felt there was little point.

"I should have two league games played by now but the manner in which the players were let go from the squad last October made my decision," Hickey told the Irish Independent.

"No one has any right to a place on a county squad but there was no courtesy, no professionalism about how it was done. That's the least any player deserved.

"One of our group was actually asked to retire by a member of the '09 management," he revealed.
