Private firms ruled out for crowd control at Munster clashes

Cork GAA chiefs do not expect private security firms to be engaged for future Munster senior football and hurling finals.

Both senior deciders were held at Páirc Uí Chaoimh last month, with the presence of Frontline Security Group the source of much negative comment.

At last night’s Cork County Board meeting, Munster Council delegate Richard Murphy reported from the recent provincial meeting, which had featured what he described as a “robust” debate regarding the use of the security firm.
