All Ireland hurling champions Limerick are dealing with what they describe as a "breach of team protocols" by a member of the senior hurling squad.

The Irish Independent is reporting that a player was arrested and then released without charge, after being involved in an altercation in a pub with a Tipperary hurler following Sunday's Munster championship match between the sides.
