As a Tipperary man I wouldn’t be too concerned over missing it. However though it will most likely demean the whole competition if the reigning Minster champs didn’t bother to play in it.
As an aside though it’ll be great for Limerick or some others to actually win a trophy of some sort.
Permanent Residence: Unless otherwise defined in Bye Law, a place of Permanent Residence of a person shall be the domestic property where (by reference to actual overnight presence, his own or his family’s ownership of or tenancy in the property, his place of non-temporary employment, and such other factors as may be considered appropriate) the Council or Committee assessing the question considers his principal private residence to have been for at least the previous month and is likely for at least the ensuing year. Residence for the purpose of attending a Primary or Post Primary School or a Higher Education College shall not qualify as a Permanent Residence for the purposes of this Rule. A County may deem certain states of affairs to constitute permanent residence for the purpose of its Bye-Law. For the purpose of applications for Inter-County Transfers, the foregoing definition shall prevail.
