Gilroy silent on Whelan
Dublin boss Pat Gilroy has remained silent on the prospect of Ciaran Whelan reversing his decision to retire as he gets set to bring in as many as 12 new faces to the squad.
Gilroy is quoted on hoganstand.com saying: 'You'd have to talk to Ciaran about that. As far as I'd be concerned, if he became available of course we'd want to bring him back in. But it's his choice, and you have to respect him given the time that he's put into the jersey.'
Dublin will play in a regional tournament at the Innisfails GAA Grounds in Balgriffin this weekend, with Gilroy looking to blood some new players.
'I'd be disappointed if we didn't get 10 or 12 players in total from all of that mix and the regional tournament,' the Dublin boss said.
'There's a lot of guys playing in this tournament that we would have seen in the club championship and we believe would make the panel, so this would be a final endorsement for some of them.
'We definitely need a good fresh impetus into this panel.'
