GAA President in appeal to Cork fans over Confederate flag

GAA president Aogán Ó Fearghail has called on Cork supporters to police themselves in relation to the appearance of the Confederate flag at matches.

For the second time in six days, the controversial flag, associated with a recent racist mass murder in the US, was visible at a Cork game.

Waved at the Munster football final in Killarney earlier this month, another version of it was seen on Semple Stadium’s Killinan End terrace during the hurlers’ qualifier victory over Clare last Saturday evening.
