The GAA will conduct a full testing process of Hawk-Eye before deciding whether the technology will be used for Sunday's All-Ireland hurling final.
The association received a full report into the issues relating to problems with the score detection system last weekend.
The report has confirmed that the only issue with score detection centred on Shane Walsh’s 45 being incorrectly deemed wide due to "a combination of unrelated issues, including minor hardware failures".
Hawk-Eye ruled the effort wide but TV replays clearly showed that the Galway man had scored a point.
This was brought to the attention of sideline match officials, who reviewed, communicated and consulted with each other before the score was confirmed during half-time of Galway’s clash with Derry.
At the start of the second half referee Brendan Cawley informed Derry manager Rory Gallagher that the score would, in fact, count.
But this was deemed to be the only issue with the system.
"Hawk-Eye have also confirmed that there were no historical issues with the system and that the problems experienced relate to last Saturday only and specifically to the Hill 16 end goal for that specific moment in time," a statement from the GAA read.
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

It's now expected that full and rigorous testing of the system will continue with the association waiting until it is fully satisfied before making a call on whether Hawk-Eye will be back for Sunday’s All-Ireland hurling final.
The GAA says the problems were a "combination of unrelated issues, including minor hardware failures, led to an erroneous finding for a score towards the end of the first half of the first football semi-final, which was promptly queried by match officials who subsequently took the decision to award the score".
The GAA will also undertake a full review of its own protocols relating to when and how the system should be stood down if similar challenges are to arise in the future.
