A WEXFORD GAA club has “suspended indefinitely with immediate effect” a club member following an incident during a junior football match on Sunday.

Wexford GAA confirmed it would commence a full investigation on Sunday afternoon with support to be made to An Garda Síochána in their inquiries, and St Joseph’s GAA club have since announced the action it has taken.

A statement released by the club last night reads:

“Following a meeting of the executive committee of St. Joseph’s GAA club, a decision has been taken to suspend indefinitely with immediate effect the club member at the centre of the alleged incident at our junior football game on Sunday morning.

“A full investigation is now underway by our club disciplinary committee along with Wexford GAA Co Board and the CCC.”
