Disciplinary system fine, claims Páraic Duffy

GAA Director General Páraic Duffy has insisted that the Association’s disciplinary structures do not need change despite a number of recent controversies.

Disciplinary issues have dominated the headlines emerging from the latter stages of the All-Ireland football championship.

Tyrone forward Tiernan McCann received an eight-week suspension after Darren Hughes tousled his hair during the Red Hands’ quarter-final win over Monaghan. The suspension was overturned in time for McCann to feature in the semi-final defeat by Kerry.
