GAA club denies mother's claims that her four children are banned

Mr Justice O'Moore said the case was an unusual one, where both sides were diametrically opposed to each other.

Counsel for the GAA club officials said that the O'Farrells are bound by their membership of the GAA to have their claim go through an arbitration process through the GAA's Disputes Resolution Authority and not a court of law. File picture: Piaras Ó Mídheach/Sportsfile

Dublin GAA club, Fingallians, has denied in the High Court a mother's claims that her four young children have been banned from participating in the club activities.

Barrister Micheál Ó Scanaill SC for several officials at the Fingallians GAA club told Mr Justice Brian O'Moore on Thursday that Sinead O'Farrell's children are entitled to take part in all relevant club activities, and it is not a case that they have been banned from doing so.
