Turloughmore appealed the decision to the Connacht Council on 8 October 2014 who upheld the decision. http://galwaybayfm.ie/turloughmore-appeal-heard-tonight/ Turloughmore appeal being heard tonight 8 October 2014 Galway Bay FM 8 October 2014 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20141014021844/http://galwaybayfm.ie/turloughmore-appeal-heard-tonight/ 14 October 2014 dmy-all A further appeal was lodged with the Disputes Resolution Authority (DRA). http://galwaybayfm.ie/turloughmore-appeal-dra/ Turloughmore to appeal to DRA 9 October 2014 Galway Bay FM 9 October 2014 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20141016145910/http://galwaybayfm.ie/turloughmore-appeal-dra/ 16 October 2014 dmy-all On 11 October 2014 the Galway County Board released a statement stating that they will establish a new investigation committee to reprocess the request from Beagh to investigate the composition of the Turloughmore team that played in the Galway Senior Hurling Championship Game on 14 September 2014.
