Kelly: GAA fans won’t treat Donal Óg any differently

FORMER GAA president Seán Kelly has insisted Donal Óg Cusack will be as respected as any other player after coming out in his autobiography.

The MEP for Ireland South, who led the Gaelic games organisation between 2003 and 2006, said the Cork hurler’s personal life was a private matter.

However, the Kerryman said that while some people fear Mr Cusack may suffer abuse when he returns to the field, in any right-thinking supporter’s eyes he should continue to be treated the same as any other player.
