GAA apologises for its missing tickets fiasco

GAA chiefs apologised last night for the missing tickets fiasco which meant more than 1,000 Cork and Galway fans missed Sunday's All-Ireland hurling final.

The tickets turned up in Croke Park yesterday, in a batch of football final tickets awaiting distribution.

"The problem was caused by an administrative error," admitted a spokesperson. "The problem has never happened previously and steps have already been taken to ensure there is not a recurrence."
