Limerick have dealt with 'breach of team protocols' in regards to a player's alleged assault in a pub

ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Limerick have claimed that they have dealt with a breach of team protocols after an issue occurred regarding one of its senior hurling team last Sunday.

John Kiely's side overcame Tipperary last weekend and are on the cusp of reaching another Munster final.

Clare comes next for the Treaty.

Reports say that a member of the Limerick squad was involved in an incident in a pub where a Tipperary player was allegedly assaulted.

According to The Irish Independent Gardai were called to the scene after a report of an assault. The Limerick player was arrested for an alleged Section 4 assault and brought to Henry Street Garda Station.

The report also says: The player was questioned before being released without charge later on Monday.

A file will now be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions who must decide whether to pursue a case.

It is not clear whether the Tipperary player required hospital treatment after the incident.

Limerick's official Twitter account said: "On Sunday last a member of the Limerick senior hurling squad was involved in a breach of our team protocols.

"The matter has been dealt with by management internally and no further comment will be made on the matter at this time."

Limerick face Clare in their final round-robin game this Sunday in Ennis.
