The GAA has named a seven-strong committee to oversee the regulation of sliotar.
The ‘Digital Sliotar Work Group’ will be chaired by former Kilkenny chairman and secretary Ned Quinn and he will be joined by ex-Tipperary goalkeeper Brendan Cummins.
The committee is completed by Louise Conlon, a former Kildare camogie player who now works for the Camogie Association, ex-Cork county board chairman Bob Ryan, Dr Eoin McDonagh, son of the late former GAA president Joe, Terry Reilly, chairman of the Gaelfast Management Board in Antrim, and long-serving Croke Park official Pat Daly.
The distance that the sliotar is travelling in the modern game has become a cause of increasing concern and there is now a widely held view that the quality of the spectacle has diminished as scoring tallies continue to rise.
A GAA statement outlined how the group met for the first time last week and will sit again this week with the aim of having draft recommendations in place by September.
