Calls to educate public on concussion

“With concussion it’s a very hard injury I think because it’s something that people can’t physically see. If I don’t have a cast on my leg or if I’m not on crutches people say ‘well what’s wrong with him? Why can’t he play?’” said the All- Ireland winner yesterday.

He was speaking at the launch of a campaign called Concussion Aware by the acquired brain injury charity, Headway.
