People who ‘gave their life’ to the sport may not have wherewithal to pre-book tickets, says Mattie McGrath
“I’m shocked and appalled at the GAA and I have been writing to them for nearly 12 months now asking them about the situation whereby elderly people who played and gave their life to the GAA and worked in the clubs and did everything in support of the GAA and they can’t get into a match if they haven’t pre-booked a ticket,” the Tipperary TD said.
“It’s a policy obviously of the Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, it’s a very despicable policy as far as I’m concerned and it’s not a good trend to be setting in our country.” Mr Varadkar said, as a recent report on retail banking pointed out, the Government believed there should be a place for cash.
