In 2023 it’s absolutely disgusting that we’re still talking about something like this, Tipperary took on Wexford yesterday evening in a challenge match and the game was blown up early after a racist remark was shouted at Wexford’s Lee Chin.

Tipperary GAA have since put out a statement on this matter which read;

A statement read: “The Tipperary senior hurlers played Wexford this afternoon in a senior hurling challenge hosted by the Carrick Swan club,” a statement read.

“Unfortunately as the game entered the closing stages, a member of the public who is not connected to either Tipperary GAA or the Carrick Swan club made racial comments which were directed at a member of the Wexford team.

“Tipperary GAA wish to state quite clearly that this kind of behaviour is totally unacceptable and has absolutely no place at our games or in our society.

“Tipperary GAA along with the senior hurling management, players and the Carrick Swan GAA club do not condone this kind of behaviour and wish to distance ourselves from any such comments.

“Both Tipperary and Wexford GAA County Boards have been in contact with each other in relation to this incident and are fully committed to having the incident investigated fully.”

This is appalling and has no place in any aspect of society and especially in front of young people. This individual has no place at GAA matches. His identity must be known to someone. He needs to be banned for life and his actions investigated by An Garda Siochana
