Justice must be seen to be done in Freeman case

The Dublin County Board is to be congratulated for taking action unilaterally on the Tommy Freeman head butting incident.
The board has said they have identified the individual involved and that both he and the county board had apologised to Tommy Freeman.
The board has also communicated the name of the individual involved in the incident to the Central Competitions Control Committee and has said that disciplinary action has been taken against him.
I commend the Dublin board for taking action to deal with what was an ugly incident.
It was important for the integrity of county boards all over the country that Dublin acted to deal with the matter immediately.
I hope that the county board will make public the disciplinary action it has taken against the individual concerned so that Gaels all over the country can see clearly that justice has been seen to be done.
