Former All-Ireland winning Dublin manager Dr Pat O’Neill has assured the GAA community that incidences of concussion are still relatively rare and shouldn’t be ‘over hyped’.

Ireland’s leading brain injury specialists have expressed serious concern at reports Sean Cavanagh played for Tyrone while concussed last weekend. 

A leading GAA medic has echoed Aidan O’Shea’s call for the appointment of an independent doctor to rule on concussion cases and other serious injuries during games.
