Dublin GAA can confirm that, after a DRA hearing this morning which lasted over five hours, the case brought by our Bainisteoir Ger Brennan was unsuccessful.
Dublin GAA would like to thank the DRA secretary and the members of the DRA panel, together with the various Croke Park disciplinary committee representatives who provided the opportunity for a full hearing at short notice this morning.
While we are disappointed at the outcome of the case, we will await the written judgement with interest and give due examination and consideration to changes required to improve the fairness and proportionality of our disciplinary system within our association.
Ger Brennan did- at all times- accept that he should receive some sanction for last month's incident. However, the weight of the penalty imposed on a volunteer member is an unduly heavy burden.
Dean Rock will continue to deputise for Ger Brennan in the interim.
We shall make no further comment at this time but Ger Brennan, the management team and our entire senior football panel have our continued support as we commence our championship campaign on Sunday.
