John Kiely has insisted his appearance as a character witness for Kyle Hayes did not mean he condoned the Limerick hurler’s behaviour inside and outside a nightclub in 2019.

Speaking at the launch of the Munster senior hurling championship in Cahir yesterday, Kiely expressed his relief that the case has ended and Hayes had not received a custodial sentence.
