Dublin chairman Sean Shanley has branded the decision to play the county's All-Ireland SHC round 2 qualifier against Tipperary at Semple Stadium "an insult" to the Sky Blues.
The GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee announced yesterday that the Waterford v Kilkenny and Dublin v Tipperary ties would take place as a double-header in Thurles on Saturday.
"It's totally unfair," Shanley told the Herald. "We were told it would be a neutral venue.
"The last word we got was that it was going to be a double-header. Limerick would be the obvious venue for that. And then they come back and say it's a double-header in Thurles."
Shanley said that Dublin had expressed their anger to the CCCC and suggested that although they had been told the choice of venue was to "promote hurling", it would have been a different story if the draw had thrown up alternative pairings.
"We're certainly going to air our objections to it now," he said.
"We're going to make representation to the CCCC that came up with this suggestion.
"We're the only ones suffering. There's no way Kilkenny would have played Tipp in Thurles. Certainly not."
Speaking to RTÉ Sport, Shanley added that it would have been acceptable if Semple had been signalled as the venue in advance of the match-ups being known but that he didn't expect a change at this stage.
"After they saw the draw, they decided to make it a double-header," he said.
"We could have no crib if before the draw they had said it was going to be a double-header in Thurles.
"But to wait until after the draw and then decide is very unfair from a Dublin point of view.
"Knowing the CCCC, I can't see it being moved at this late stage.
"It's late enough only having the draw Monday morning and announcing where they're being played on Monday afternoon. That's tight enough for organisers.
"We've been more or less told, 'it's done and that's it'.
"We're letting it be known (so) hopefully it won't happen in the future."
Co-incidentally, Semple Stadium was today announced as the inaugural winner of the GAA Pitch award, with St Conleth’s Park, Newbridge in County Kildare named runner-up.
Meanwhile, questions have emerged over whether Pairc Ui Chaoimh will be ready to host the All-Ireland hurling quarter finals in a fortnight's time.
The Cork city stadium, which will have a capacity of 45,000, was initially scheduled to host the Munster football and hurling finals but wasn't ready due to technology and security issues.
It was subsequently confirmed that the stadium's first big games would be the hurling quarters on July 23 but, according to a report in today's Irish Times, that is not yet certain.
However, a Cork source also told the newspaper that they "weren't aware of any further problems that would hold up the development."
