Munster GAA chief blasts radio show comments

THE chairman of the Munster Council has launched a strongly worded attack on RTÉ radio show Liveline, and its presenter Derek Davis, for their coverage of the brawl between Laois and Cork in the All-Ireland MFC.

Sean Fogarty described comments made by Mr Davis as “disgraceful” and said the tone of the programme discussing the incidents in Limerick last month was “most unfair”.

“When we consider the immense amount of top class entertainment the GAA provides for radio and television, and in the process provides welcome entertainment for our sick and elderly friends, the negative comments on the radio programme Liveline were most unfair,” Mr Fogarty said.
