Larry McCarthy has promised an investigation into reports of crowd congestion in the Lower Hogan Stand during last Sunday’s Tailteann Cup semi-finals.

A number of fans who attended the Croke Park double-header took to social media afterwards to highlight their concerns about overcrowding.

Speaking on RTÉ Radio One's Morning Ireland, following the draw for the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals, the GAA president was at a loss to explain how there were issues, especially as the Davin Stand was also opened up.

"I wasn't witness to anything," he said.

"I was there - one brilliant game, one not so great game. There were 17,500 people there in an 82,000-seater stadium. It's difficult to see how there was congestion.

"We will certainly look at it this morning, I can assure you.

"The Lower Hogan was open and the premium section was open. It was general admission, so you could sit anywhere essentially.

"We opened up the Davin as well as the crowd came in to give people plenty of room."
