Kerry brothers take court action as GAA insists they play for parish club

THEY want to play football for the club they love, but have been told by the GAA they can only play for the club in their parish.

Kerry brothers Padraic O’Sullivan, aged 14, and Colin, aged 8, have taken their case to the High Court because they want to play for Listry GAA Club which is just over a kilometre from their home at Ballytrasna, Faha, Killarney.

But because they are geographically located in the parish of Firies, they have been told by the Kerry County Board they must play for Ballyhar-Firies GAA Club, which is more than 11km away.
