Overview
- The Disputes Resolution Authority, after a five-hour hearing Saturday, upheld Ger Brennan's 12-week suspension and closed off all remaining appeals.
- The ban follows a half-time altercation on March 22 in Salthill with Galway strength and conditioning coach Cian Breathnach McGinn, and referee Fergal Kelly sent both men off.
- Dublin GAA called the penalty an 'unduly heavy burden' on a volunteer and said it will review the written judgment to consider changes to how sanctions are set.
- Brennan will miss Dublin's Leinster Senior Football Championship campaign, which opens against Wicklow in Aughrim on Sunday, with Dean Rock to deputise on the line.
- The case ran the full GAA route, moving from the original sanction to the Central Hearings Committee and the Central Appeals Committee before the DRA gave the final decision.
