Limerick’s nominees are Nickie Quaid, Mike Casey, Seán Finn, Barry Nash, Diarmaid Byrnes, Declan Hannon, Will O’Donoghue, Gearóid Hegarty, Kyle Hayes, Tom Morrissey Aaron Gillane, and Séamus Flanagan.
Beaten finalists Kilkenny have eight nominations, while next-door neighbours Clare and Galway have eight apiece.
