By Cóilín Duffy GAA President Nickey Brennan has stated that his organisation is not showing any bias in relation to the case of Kerry footballer Paul Galvin who knocked the notebook out of referee Paddy Russell's hand in last Sunday week's Munster SFC semi-final win over Clare. Galvin was hit with a 26-week ban by the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) and Brennan is quick to point out that similar penalties will be dished out should other GAA players misbehave. "I think it is fairly clear what the attitude of our association is this year towards misbehaviour on the field. I think that has been well signposted and I hope I don't need to reiterate it again," Brennan stated. And the Kilkenny native affirmed that the GAA aren't going to sit back and not take action in relation to unsavoury incidents, on or off the field. "We will not tolerate any incidents and I don't care who that is or what county they are from," he stated. However Brennan wasn't keen to be drawn on the specifics of the Paul Galvin case. "I don't want to directly comment on the Paul Galvin situation because it is obviously in due process at the moment. "I don't want to get into it too much as Paul Galvin's hearing is coming up as he has requested one. He is entitled to do so." Tweet
