Top fan calls for GAA action on ticket pricing

One of the country’s most recognisable GAA supporters has called on Association bosses to do more to ease the financial burden on fans.

Die-hard Cork GAA supporter Cyril Kavanagh was speaking yesterday as he and three of his colourful colleagues were honoured by the city’s lord mayor for decades of dedicated support of Cork GAA teams.

Cyril, who has been to almost every Cork league game and almost every All-Ireland hurling and football final over the last 40 years, said the price of mach tickets is preventing a lot of fans from attending games.
