Ó hAilpín: Cusack revelations a ‘watershed in Irish history’

CORK GAA star Seán Óg Ó hAilpín has described his team-mate Donal Óg Cusack’s revelations about his sexuality as a “watershed in Irish history” — and revealed that he has been racially abused himself on the field of play.

Cusack’s autobiography describes homophobic chanting about the Cork ‘keeper by Tipperary supporters and racial chants directed at Ó hAilpín by Kilkenny supporters.

Yesterday Ó hAilpín compared the anti-racism regime in Australia with that in Ireland.
