Cork's John Miskella is free to play in this year's All-Ireland SFC final after referee John Bannon stood by his original punishment.
Bannon was given an opportunity by the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee to review the off-the-ball incident in which Miskella struck Tyrone's Brian McGuigan during the Rebels' semi-final win on Sunday.
The Longford man showed Miskella a yellow card at the time, and following a review of the match tape, Bannon deemed his original sanction appropriate.
A statement from the GAA confirmed: 'Arising from an incident in last Sunday’s All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final involving Tyrone No 24 and Cork No 5, the Central Competitions Control Committee requested the Referee to clarify, by way of viewing video footage of the incident, if he felt the incident had been dealt with adequately on the day by issuing a yellow card to the Cork No 5, John Miskella.
'The Referee has confirmed that he considered that a yellow card was the appropriate sanction. The CCCC may not, therefore, initiate further disciplinary action in relation to this matter.'
