A significant meeting of the Central Council took place at Slattery’s Hotel in Killarney, with Vice President Mr T.F. O’Sullivan presiding over the proceedings. During the gathering, the Council made a decisive resolution to uphold its previous action, declaring the Limerick County Convention and the subsequent election of officers, along with all other associated proceedings, as illegal. In light of this determination, the Council directed the organization of a new Convention to be held in Limerick on June 15th. It was requested that Reverend Father Casey, residing in Abbeyfeale, assume the role of presiding officer at the Convention, with Mr L.J. O’Toole or Mr F.B. Dioeen representing the Council on this occasion.

The Council also addressed the matter of the Dublin and Wexford match, which had been ordered by the Leinster Council to be replayed at Carrick-on-Suir. The Central Council deemed this decision as illegal and concluded that a fresh meeting of the Leinster Council should be convened on the following Sunday to further reconsider the matter.

The outcomes of the meeting underscore the Council’s commitment to ensuring adherence to proper procedures and upholding the rule of law within their respective domains. By declaring the previous Limerick Convention and election as invalid, and questioning the legality of the Dublin and Wexford match decision, the Council displayed a firm stance on maintaining transparency and fair practices within their organizational framework.
