Páirc Uí Chaoimh turns CCTV away from pitch to stop use in red card appeals

Kevin O'Donovan: 'The cameras at Pairc Uí Chaoimh are being pointed in a direction now for their purpose, which is security, safety of patrons, and so on.'

Club players in Cork will no longer be able to call on CCTV footage from Páirc Uí Chaoimh when contesting a red card they received at the venue as the decision has been taken to point cameras away from the field of play.

The Irish Examiner knows of at least one high-profile Cork player who used CCTV footage from Páirc Uí Chaoimh to successfully challenge a red card they had received while on club duty in recent years.
