The Hurling Development Committee had looked for provincial runners-up to be awarded home advantage, but a lobby of counties including Waterford and Wexford convinced Central Council on Saturday to retain the neutral staging.<\/p>\n
Last year\u2019s Dublin-Limerick and Tipperary-Galway quarter-finals were staged in Croke Park and TUS Gaelic Grounds. The year before, the Cork-Dublin and Clare-Wexford matches formed a double-header in FBD Semple Stadium.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen if the quarter-finals will be played on Sunday having been staged on a Saturday the last number of years. Currently, they are scheduled for the weekend of June 20\/21 along with the Tailteann Cup semi-finals, which have had the Sunday slot since the competition was established in 2022.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, at Saturday\u2019s meeting in Croke Park Cork chairman Pat Horgan hit out at the decision to stage both Division 1A and 1B finals on the same bill in Limerick tomorrow week.<\/p>\n
Horgan highlighted the intense ticket pressure placed on Cork by the Clare-Dublin 1B decider as the undercard to the county\u2019s 1A final with Limerick.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Cork clubs were informed each hurling unit would receive two stand tickets with premier senior and senior A clubs entitled to 24 terrace tickets. Premier intermediate, intermediate A and premier junior clubs would pick up four less while junior A outfits would receive 12 and 10 for junior B and C clubs.<\/p>\n
Central Council have also recommended future GAA presidential and trustee elections take place by postal vote. The next election for trustees takes place next year.<\/p>\n
The practice of withdrawing motions from the floor of Congress after they have been debated is also to be reviewed. Recently, a Clontarf motion was removed from the Cl\u00e1r following a debate for the second time in 12 months.<\/p>\n
Also at Congress last month, GAA president Jarlath Burns chose not to put to a vote a proposal to extend the inter-county window by two weeks while disbanding the pre-season competitions. The motion had faced strong opposition from the floor.<\/p>\n
Ard Chomhairle also agreed that academy squads can only stage challenge games from February 1 to August 15, while trials can only take place from October 24 to December 5.<\/p>\n
Former Offaly hurler and barrister Rory Hanniffy, Edward Dooley, John Hogan, Caoimhe Clancy and Dick Butler (GAA Panel) were all ratified as additional members of the Disputes Resolution Authority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This year\u2019s All-Ireland senior hurling quarter-finals will continue to be played at neutral venues.
