The All-Ireland quarter-final games between Kilkenny and Galway, and Wexford versus Tipperary have been postponed for a week following the death of the wife of Kilkenny goalkeeper James McGarry.
The move, announced this lunch-time by the GAA, is a mark of respect to the late Vanessa McGarry, who was tragically killed in a road accident yesterday.
A request to postpone the games at Croke Park was made by the Kilkenny County Board and granted following consultation with the GAA's Management Committee and the CCCC.
GAA president Nickey Brennan and Director General Liam Mulvihill offered their sympathies, and those of the entire GAA community, to the McGarry and O Mahoney families on their loss.
Sunday's games - which also includes the minor hurling quarter-final between Antrim and Kilkenny - will now take place at Croke Park on Saturday week, July 28th.
That minor final will start at 12.15pm, with the Wexford and Tipperary game due to throw-in taking place at 2pm and the Kilkenny/Galway semi-final at 4pm.
Tickets purchased for this weekend will be valid at Croke Park next Saturday. Ticket holders unable to attend the rescheduled event can obtain a refund by returning to the source from where the ticket was originally purchased.
The GAA's Mc Namee Awards, scheduled to take place on Sunday evening in Croke Park, have also been postponed and will now take place at a new date yet to be confirmed.
