In 1998, he became a county team selector along with former teammates Éamonn Cregan and David Punch[2] and advocated the retention of the back-door system.[3]
He was the parish priest in Kilmallock in 2008;[4] as such he celebrated the mass of his deceased niece, Elizabeth Gubbins, who died in the controversial Vernelli hit-and-run case in Rome.[5][6]
The Fitzmaurice brothers were noted for their unusual hurling technique: when striking the sliotar, the Fitzmaurice brothers did not bend their elbows, making it difficult for their opponents to hook them.[7][8]
