‘Cancer’ must be eradicated, says Dunne

The GAA’s former games administration chief Jimmy Dunne has described indiscipline at club level as seen in O’Moore Park on Sunday as “a cancer that needs to be eradicated”.

The Wicklow man, who chaired the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) in the mid-Noughties, also said patrons and substitutes who entered the field of play and found to have behaved violently in Portlaoise should be dealt with by authorities higher than the GAA.

Dunne was speaking in relation to Sunday’s ill-tempered All-Ireland semi-final between Tyrone’s Derrytresk and Kerry’s Dromid Pearses.
