Louth County Board chairman and Independent TD Peter Fitzpatrick has called for the GAA to postpone the inter-county season.

Former Fine Gael member Fitzpatrick, whose senior county footballers travel to Cork today where they hope a win will help them avoid relegation from Division 3, believes the trip is not a safe one to make as Covid-19 cases rise across the island.
