Clare GAA secretary Pat Fitzgerald is set to pursue a civil case against individuals behind a social media webpage for alleged harassment.

The news comes as he has requested a review of the Director of Public Prosecution’s (DPP) decision not to recommend a criminal prosecution after a file was prepared by An Garda Síochána. The DPP’s judgement is understood to have been handed down in recent days.
