Hawk-Eye technology will not be used in Sunday's All-Ireland football semi-final between Dublin and Kerry following controversy in Saturday's match between Galway and Derry.
The Tribesmen advanced to a first final since 2001 after a six-point win at Croke Park, but a major talking point was the score detection technology ruling a Shane Walsh '45 for Galway wide late in the first half.
With Derry leading 0-4 to 0-2, Hawkeye was called upon to decide whether Walsh’s effort was on target.
Hawkeye's graphic showed the ball missing wide right, despite replays clearly showing the ball going comfortably between the posts.
Is there a problem with HawkEye? Shane Walsh's free late in the half was deemed wide by the technology at Croke Park, but the replay would suggest otherwise

Before the ball was thrown in for the second half, the point was awarded to Galway after further consultation between referee Brendan Cawley and his match officials. Hawkeye was then stood down for the remainder of the game.
The GAA confirmed that the technology will not now be used for the second semi-final amid a review into the error.
"The GAA can confirm that score detection technology will not be in use for tomorrow’s two games at Croke Park," a statement read. "A full review of the technology will take place in the coming week."
At half-time in the match, before the score was awarded to Galway, Pat Spillane claimed the situation was "an absolute joke" while Enda McGinley felt it showed that Hawkeye is "not fit for purpose".
Galway went on to win the game 2-08 to 1-06 and book their place in the All-Ireland final for the first time in 21 years.
