Liam O’Neill’s stance against violence ages well

Sunday’s mass brawl in Austin Stack Park should at least set one record straight. Just as it becomes clearer that Brexit impacts the entire island and not just the North, the violence at GAA matches is not the preserve of Ulster as much as some would, for the sake of convenience but truly downright ignorance, like to sweep that problem towards the nine counties.

Back in April, the same shapes and punches were thrown there in the intermediate championship game between John Mitchels and Ardfert.

Tyrone may have the name for it but Cork and Kerry — we mention again the row at the end of their U17 Munster final last year — are not without sin.
