Ryan slams ‘crazy’ Páirc stewarding
Dublin company Frontline Security were hired by the Munster Council to operate at the game, where they were dotted around the perimeter of the pitch during the game.
At the final whistle, they cordoned off the presentation area, as they have done in Croke Park for finals. Afterwards, they also restricted entry in the tunnel area around the players’ dressing rooms, seemingly to allow the teams and officials to return there without going through the crowd. They will again be operating at next Sunday’s hurling final, where the security firm could have a stronger presence to reflect the larger attendance. The Irish Examiner understands experienced event management is part of the requirement to stage the finals at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, as set out by the health and safety advisors.
