Gerry Quinn (born 24 July 1980 in Dabrien, Kilnaboy, County Clare) is an Irish sportsperson. He played very occasionally with his local club Corofin and was a member of the Clare senior inter-county team since 2000.[1] He was dropped early 2009 from the Clare panel by manager Mike McNamara but was reinstated the same year by manager Ger O'Loughlin.[2]
In August 2004, Quinn was involved in an incident that left Henry Shefflin (Kilkenny) requiring an operation to repair a tear duct. In a clash, Quinn accidentally hit Shefflin unintentionally. Shefflin accepted an apology, but the RTE-sportprogram Sunday Game made a big fuss out of it. Quinn and Clare GAA were very angry about this, and threatened to sue the RTE.[3]
