Former GAA president says big changes needed after Armagh-Galway brawl

Former GAA president Liam O'Neill has called on the organisation to 'get to grips' with the issue of mass brawls.

O'Neill lamented the ugly scenes between Armagh and Galway players at the end of normal time of their All-Ireland quarter-final at Croke Park on Sunday.

"We had an absolutely fantastic game in Croke Park, everything you want in Gaelic Games, yet we’re talking about violence and that is a huge pity," said O’Neill, who served as GAA president between 2012 and 2015, on RTÉ Radio 1’s Morning Ireland.
