The GAA’s Central Appeals Committee have upheld the 12-week suspension handed down to Dublin football manager Ger Brennan, RT\u00c9 Sport understands.<\/p>\n
The ban arose from a red card issued to Brennan for getting involved in a fracas with Galway strength and conditioning coach Cian Breathnach McGinn during Dublin’s Division 1 league defeat at Pearse Stadium on 22 March, a result which saw the Dubs relegated from the top tier.<\/p>\n
After the suspension was initially upheld by the GAA’s Central Hearings Committee, Dublin GAA were informed, following a meeting of the CAC on Monday evening, that Brennan’s latest attempt at challenging his ban has not been successful.<\/p>\n
It is understood that Dublin will now apply to the Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA) in one last effort to have the suspension overturned or reduced.<\/p>\n
As things stand, Brennan will not be on the sideline for his side’s Leinster Championship opener against Wicklow on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He is also prohibited from any matchday activity and should any appeal to the DRA fail, the prospect of missing a huge chunk of Dublin’s championship campaign is likely.<\/p>\n
