A father who assaulted an umpire at an underage hurling match, leading to the victim suffering a concussion at the hands of others, has been given a suspended three-month sentence.

The actions of Michael Kelly at Clan na Gael club in Dublin in March 2023 were “not a true reflection of the GAA”, Judge Orla Crowe said as she sentenced him today.
