A politician was thrown out of Friday night's Cork City vs St Patrick's Athletic League of Ireland soccer match by gardaí after a crowd protest against FAI executive vice president John Delaney.

The Irish Examiner understands Sinn Féin TD for Cork North Central Jonathan O'Brien - who is a former chair of the supporters' group which helped save the club from extinction - was removed during the match after attempting to calm the incident.
