PIC: People are talking about this Roscommon politician’s views on the GAA pitch switch

This is dividing people’s opinions.

Many GAA fans were in uproar over the weekend when Roscommon’s Allianz Football League match with Dublin, scheduled to be played at Hyde Park in Roscommon, was moved to Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada in Carrick-on-Shannon at the eleventh hour.

The debacle even inspired an immediate sketch, while the anger among supporters forced to change their travel arrangements at the last minute simmered throughout the day.

The latest figure to weigh in on the incident is Roscommon politician Ivan Connaughton, who took to Facebook to post this message.
