2013 manager Fennessey reverts to the role of selector, along with former intercounty star Alan Markham of Kilmaley and Martin Duggan of Clarecastle.

The first trials for the 2015 side have already gotten underway, and Morrissey says they'll be keeping their options open

Elsewhere the minor footballers will be managed by Ennistymon native Kieran Kelleher, while Mark Raftery of St Josephs Doora Barefield, Kilmurry Ibrickanes Paul Hickey and O'Currys Ger Quinlan will be selectors.

The U21 hurling management team will be finalised in the coming weeks, with Donal Moloney looking replace a backroom team that brought 3 All Ireland titles in a row to the Banner county following the departures of Gerry O'Connor, Jimmy Browne and Paul Kinnerk.

The U21 footballers will be jointly managed by St Breckans Neil Hawes and Kilkee's Michael O'Shea. 

Adding to their management team will be Clondegads Martin Brennan and Donal O'Hanifin of Eire Óg.

Joint manager Hawes says he's looking forward to getting started

The meeting also heard plans outlined for a €2.3 million upgrade of the county grounds.

The works will include a new roof and seating on the main stand, along with the development of a car park and new turnstiles.

When complete, it's hoped it will bring the capacity to 20,000.

It's envisaged the work will begin before the end of the year.
