Did you read the article I posted? It successfully, and correctly, overruled 2 calls in the Galway-Dublin Leinster hurling final. Then it made a cockup in the Limerick Minor Game.
So the facility exists to overrule incorrect calls, whether asked for or not, and that facility has been used at least 3 times that I am aware of.
My point is that there is no 'need' to harangue refs or umpires to 'go to hawkeye'. It will happen automatically whether the ref calls it or not.

The Irish Independent understands that Limerick County Board sought clarification particularly on whether the match referee or the Hawk-Eye supervisor called for the score to be reviewed and the answer strengthened their belief that they have a good case for a replay.
That above paragraph suggests to me there is some kind of loophole to be exploited depending on who makes the decision to go to Hawk-Eye and I'm wondering if the GAA have made a conscious decision to avoid using the facility since the Limerick game? Has there been any more recent examples of Hawk-Eye over-ruling the umpires (Galway/Dublin I think was prior to the Limerick incident). If there is, then fair enough, no further argument from me.
I've a feeling this one is going all the way to the DRA via CAC and CHC, etc. Limerick went the whole way with it unsuccessfully. Maybe Meath will have more joy.
