Influencer Miriam Mullins has responded to the hate she got for attending the All-Ireland on Sunday.
The social media star was gifted a free ticket to the Cork v Clare game but was hit with some pretty intense hate online.
Many people admitted they were annoyed because they couldn't get a ticket when the influencer got one for free.
During the match, Miriam posted a story after multiple people said they were 'pissed off' about her getting a ticket.
She said: "To anyone who's pissed off I got tickets because I'm 'an influencer' and 'I don't deserve them' that's on you."
Miriam stressed that she's allowed to support her home county and attend the final.
She continued: "If you know me you'd know how much me and my family love GAA. I literally had to beg for tickets and I'm so grateful to be here, they weren't just handed to me.
"Leave people be and just enjoy the match," she stressed.
The influencer later discussed the online hate and said she understood why people were annoyed but again stressed that she deserved to be there too.
"I completely understand why someone would be a little bit annoyed when they see somebody being brought to a game or getting gifted a ticket…”
She added: "I begged every contact I had for two weeks. I'm a very proud Cork woman; I completely deserve to be there.
"I genuinely think just because of my career, my job, and because I’m an influencer, people want to give out," she added.
