Fingallians GAA club has denied a claim that four young siblings were banned from participating in the Dublin GAC's activities
Micheál Ó Scanaill SC for several officials at the Fingallians GAA club told Mr Justice Brian O'Moore at the High Court that Sinead O'Farrell's children are entitled to take part in all relevant club activities, and it is not a case that they have been banned from doing so.
When the matter returned before Mr Justice O'Moore today, Mr Ó Scannail said there was no urgency to the claim as the O'Farrell children were not banned from the club, nor taking part in activities. He added that if he was wrong on that point, it was their case that the dispute should be heard by a lower court than the High Court.Richard Kean SC for the O'Farrells said that the O'Farrell children would not be before the court if they were allowed to fully participate in all of the club's activities with their own peer group.
The judge added that he was making no criticism of counsel in the case but said that the application for the injunction should be heard as soon as possible. Arising out of the fallout within the club from that tournament, she said her husband, and other adults whose children were part of that group of boys, were fired as volunteer coaches of the U-9s in September.
