I have no doubt, that it was a light-hearted comment from Lucey and that he would have hoped that readers would have taken his suggestion in jest.
But, in hindsight it may not have been the best response to that particular question, especially from a doctor and one of hurling's leading role models.
In response to the same question, Clare's Brian O'Connell, whose father Tony hails from the Fairgreen in Limerick City, said that the laptop computer was the best invention ever.
Perhaps, the Munster Council could set up a system to vett all material that goes into their match programmes to avoid a similiar repeat of the Lucey answer, especially at a time when the GAA is trying to roll out the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention (ASAP) programme.

Mike Meade
BALLYLANDERS referee Mike Meade came under fire in the past week for the role his played in the Paul Galvin suspension. The Limerick official was the linesman that reported an incident to match referee Paddy Russell, which saw the Kerry captain receive his second yellow card. Former Kerry manager, Jack O'Connor, speaking on Radio Kerry, laid some of the blame on Meade.
"Paul was getting checked off the ball when he was trying to make runs down the far sideline away from the stand. He had picked up a fairly innocuous yellow early on in the game and, rather then trying to exact retribution, he went looking for the linesman. The linesman told the referee to book the two of them and you could see why Paul Galvin was getting so frustrated.
"If you can't go looking to one of the officials for protection, where do you go," said O'Connor.
"The official (Mike Meade) that relayed the information to the referee has to hold his hands up here and accept some of the blame for what happened," said O'Connor.

A step in the right direction
CROKE Park chiefs appear to have taken a step in the right direction with a new monthly email to all GAA clubs, supplying the latest information. This is part of a new initiative which is designed to ensure improved communications between the Central Council administration and club.
The correspondence will cover a variety of issues including: new initiatives of relevance to clubs, clarification of policy, information on distribution of finance, provision of information on rule changes and information on relevant medical and player welfare issues.

Deirdre Murphy & Pat Culhane
WELL done to Deirdre Murphy, Munster Camogie Development Co-Ordinator, who is based in the Sports Office of Limerick Institute of Technology in Moylish and Pat Culhane, Limerick City Hurling Development Administrator, who is based in the Munster Council office in Rhebogue.
The duo organised a series of end of year hurling and camogie blitzes over the last two weeks for the Limerick City area. Last Thursday, over 500 second and third class girls from 18 schools across Limerick City descended on Old Christians GAA Club to take part in a fun camogie blitz. Thanks to funding from the camogie association and Limerick City Sports Partnership, hurleys were available for purchase at the subsidised price of €5 and 262 hurleys were snapped up on the day.
The next step is to establish a camogie club and a committee has been formed to cater for young girls from the St. Patrick's/Claughan/Old Christians and Ballinacurra Gaels catchment areas.
