Calls for Cork County Board and GAA to ban Confederate flag

The Cork County Board and the GAA have been called on to outright ban the Confederate flag from stadiums following a version of it being brandished by a Cork supporter at Croke Park on Sunday, writes Rob McNamara.

Images of a fan holding a variation of the flag on Hill 16 appeared on social media during Cork’s All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Waterford less than 24 hours after violent skirmishes at a far right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA saw one woman killed and several injured.
