Liam Cahill, the Tipperary hurling manager, successfully appealed against a four-week suspension for using abusive language towards a match official.
After receiving a suspension notification from the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee following a red card he received during Tipperary's Munster SHC draw with Limerick on Sunday, Cahill exercised his right to a hearing.
During a central hearings committee meeting held last night, the committee members determined that the proposed suspension should be overturned, allowing Cahill to continue his managerial duties uninterrupted.
The allegations against Cahill involved comments directed at linesman James Owens after a lineball was awarded to Limerick, despite it being evident that the ball had touched a Limerick player last before going out of play.

Consequently, Cahill will be able to assume his position on the sideline for Tipperary's upcoming final Munster Championship game against Waterford, as well as the Munster final should they secure qualification.
If the suspension had been upheld, the Premier manager would not have been allowed to train or communicate with the team or management before or during Sunday's Munster SHC final round clash with Waterford in Thurles.
The same constraints would have applied if Tipp made the Munster final against Clare on 11 June.
