Ex-garda escapes charge for Páidí attack

A FORMER garda who attacked Kerry football team manager Páidí Ó Sé as his side lost to Tyrone in the football semi-final will not face charges.

Gardaí confirmed last night that no investigation is being carried out into the incident at the All-Ireland match at Croke Park on Sunday.

The incident occurred minutes from the end of play, when Killarney man Michael O’Sullivan, in his 50s, ran onto the sideline on the Hogan Stand side of the pitch and struck out at Mr Ó Sé.
