Wexford’s racism response exemplary, says O’Neill

GAA president Liam O’Neill has praised the Wexford County Board for their handling of a racism case.

Two Duffry Rovers players were handed eight-week bans after being cited by referee Brendan Martin for directing racist comments towards Sarsfields’ inter-county player Lee Chin in a league game two months ago.

“The people who are alleged to have committed the offence have been punished,” said O’Neill. “This has been dealt with in an exemplary fashion. The people who were identified in the referee’s report were dealt with and that’s the way all disciplinary matters should be dealt with.”
