GAA President Sean Kelly has condemned the reported death threat on Sunday’s All-Ireland football semi-final referee Michael Monahan as "diabolical".

Monahan is alleged to have been the subject of a death threat phoned in to Croke Park just minutes before he blew for full-time during Armagh’s four point defeat of Donegal.

Speaking today in Croke Park, Kelly said: "We’re still not fully up to speed with what exactly happened but obviously I would have to condemn it if it turns out to be something that did occur.

"It's diabolical to think that something like this could happen anywhere let alone in a civilised society."
