Gerry Quinn Gaelic games player
Gerry Quinn (born 24 July 1980 in Dabrien, Kilnaboy, County Clare) is an Irish sportsperson. He played very occasionally with his local club Corofin and was a member of the Clare senior inter-county team since 2000. He was dropped early 2009 from the Clare panel by manager Mike McNamara but was reinstated the same year by manager Ger O'Loughlin.In August 2004, Quinn was involved in an incident that left Henry Shefflin (Kilkenny) requiring an operation to repair a tear duct. In a clash, Quinn accidentally hit Shefflin unintentionally. Shefflin accepted an apology, but the RTE-sportprogram Sunday Game made a big fuss out of it. Quinn and Clare GAA were very angry about this, and threatened to sue the RTE.
