Reader's Blog: Unfair press coverage for GAA over Miller affair

The GAA has been subjected to unfair press coverage over the Liam Miller fund raising event (Malachy Clerkin: ‘Why does GAA keep shooting itself in the foot?’, The Irish Times, July 22).

The hostility shown towards the GAA for not sanctioning, with immediate effect, approval for the charity match to be hosted in Cork at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, despite being prohibited in rule from hosting such games, was, by any standards, regrettable. I noticed that the FAI, despite initiating the event, was not subject to the same level of scrutiny of their stewardship as the GAA was.
