Residents of the wider Adare parish, living outside the village postal code, were not given complimentary passes to the golf tournament and have asked the sports minister to intervene

'It is the single biggest issue to have come up since the Ryder Cup was announced. So many people have been left out. I can see disappointment building to anger, said Tidy Towns activist Bridie Collins. Picture: Brendan Moran/Sportsfile

Sports minister Patrick O'Donovan has been asked to intervene in a festering Ryder Cup tickets row in Adare.

Each household in the Adare village postal code got two complimentary passes, valid for any day of the tournament, but residents of the wider parish, outside the postal code, were excluded.
