Shane O’Donnell suffered a concussion injury in 2021 which forced him to take a break away from hurling.
CLARE HURLING STAR Shane O’Donnell says he came to have a greater appreciation for the stress that the county’s fans experience during his time out due to a concussion.
The motion, which aims to rectify the ‘inadequacy of the current insurance in safeguarding inter-county players from financial loss,’ was passed unanimously. “It hasn’t got to the point of being voted on by, I think central council or by county delegates or anything like that. O’Donnell added that he is planning his inter-county future on a year-by-year basis, citing an interest to work abroad at some point alongside his girlfriend Niamh. He has taken a break from inter-county hurling in the past after the time he spent studying at Harvard in 2019. But his concussion struggles kept him on the sidelines for a longer spell, which exposed him to the difficult emotions that Clare fans face on match days.
“So I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that the first year when I retire properly, but… might have to tie it in with kind of going abroad or something. But yeah, it is kind of a year by year thing at this stage.
