Meath GAA apologise to Down after offensive tweet

Meath GAA have apologised to their Down counterparts after an offensive tweet from their official account targetted the facilities in Ballycran.

Ronan Sheehan's side hosted Offaly in the Ards venue on Sunday and in the aftermath of their 0-21 to 0-18 loss, a tweet from the Meath account calling McKenna Park a "kip" and stating that inter-county games should not be played there.

Sheehan took to social media slamming the tweet before later praising the Royal County for quickly addressing the issue.

"Coiste na Mí C.L.G. are aware of an offensive tweet coming from our Twitter account this afternoon. This tweet in no way reflects the views of Coiste na Mí C.L.G," the statement read.

"A full investigation of how the tweet was posted commenced in the aftermath of the tweet and is currently underway.

"We have been in contact with the Down County Board apologising for the tweet which was deleted as soon as we became aware of it."
