"Ryle Nugent is the Head of Sport, you'll have to ask him why I'm not on the panel.""I made it very, very clear that I was available and I wanted to do the match."
"There is a contractual situation where I am contracted to do a certain amount of matches and I have fulfilled the obligations for those matches but we've always been very, very flexible on matches that we've done and we could do more for less."I made it clear that I could do an extra match and made it clear that there would be no extra payment for that."
Someone needs to check Ryle Nugent because that looks like a two-footed tackle to us. Giles also went to highlight the intervention of colleague Eamon Dunphy in the whole situation."What RTE have released is that it was the scheduling and availability." "I am available to do the match.""The second thing is, Ryle Nugent believes that this is the best panel for the match. That's his decision."I can't go along with the reason of the contractual situation."
"I think Eamon did make a case to Ryle Nugent about getting me on on Saturday. I had to stress to Eamon that I'm not seeking this. It's like going to a party that you're not invited to.""Eamon and Liam certainly wanted me to do it but it's not their decision."
"I'm contracted up to August, I'm not actually contracted at the moment to the rest of the campaign so I don't know what the future holds... we'll have to wait and see.""I feel okay, I enjoy doing what I'm doing. I feel I'm capable of doing what I'm doing. I'm 74 now. I'm knocking on a bit but I don't believe in the age situation.""If RTE think differently then it's not just my decision."
