Munster Council powerless to prevent further pitch invasions

The Munster Council have conceded that unless huge work is carried out on the province’s stadiums, they can do little to prevent pitch invasions.

Following Limerick’s victory over Cork on Sunday, thousands of fans spilled out onto the Gaelic Grounds turf to join the players celebrating their victory. While no one was hurt, the Munster Council reiterated their plea to fans to stay off the pitch in future.

“We would have appealed in advance, as we said before every other match, for the supporters to stay off the pitch afterwards,” said Munster Council PRO Ed Donnelly.
