From Balls.ie about his ridiculous suspension

(For those who don't know, Keady was suspended for playing illegally for Laois in the United States early on that summer. Keady was the only high profile player ever suspended under this ridiculous law, even though the practice was rampant in the 70s and 80s. Tipperary's Paul Delaney had committed exactly the same 'crime' that summer and yet played the semi-final. The Tipp management, concerned that issues would arise following the Keady saga, dropped him for the final against Antrim.)

Keady has long joked that he was initially suspended for nine months and after appealing, this was raised to twelve months. Either way, he was still banned for the semi-final. His cause was defeated by 20 votes to 18. Incredibly, it turned out that the Tipperary delegates, who had most to gain from his suspension, voted for his re-instatement.

So, who were some of the counties that voted against him?

Outrageously, Keady said last night that four Connacht county boards voted against him, none of which played hurling at an elite level. Farrell indicated that the breathtaking vindictiveness displayed by Galway's neighbours that night was attributable to anti-hurling sentiment within the province.
