A former All-Star Dublin footballer says it is "hard to believe" that the training session which took place on Wednesday morning was a stand-alone event.

Yesterday, Dublin GAA suspended manager Dessie Farrell for 12 weeks after a group of players were pictured training together, despite Covid-19 restrictions banning the activity until April 19.
