Curbing fun or tradition not my intention, says Monaghan

The Galway GAA official responsible for issuing a directive against children and teenagers hanging out of windows during victory motorcades in the county insists he is not a killjoy.

County children’s officer Pat Monaghan stressed he is not in support of banning homecomings but concerned about the dangerous practice of young players celebrating from cars.

All clubs in Galway have been asked to comply with the request from the board’s health and well-being committee to cease such actions.
