There has been widespread condemnation of the way in which a Cork hurling club celebrated winning the county’s senior hurling championship yesterday evening.

On the same night that the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) recommended the whole country move to level 5 restrictions of the Government’s ‘Living with Covid plan’, Blackrock GAA club celebrated winning their first senior championship in 18 years.
