GAA snub on SF over tickets is childish, says McGuinness

SINN FÉIN chief negotiator Martin McGuinness has described as “childish” the GAA’s decision not to offer the party tickets for this year’s All-Ireland finals.

The GAA took the decision after Belfast’s Casement Park was used against its wishes for a rally commemorating the H-Block hunger-strikers.

The GAA central council was opposed to the rally proceeding at the stadium, saying it breached association rules which stipulate it should not be seen to endorse political events.
