Posters comparing GAA to IRA's "sporting wing" appear in Randalstown, condemned as hate crime.

Anti-GAA posters that appeared in Randalstown, Co Antrim, comparing the sports organization to the "sporting wing" of the IRA, have been condemned as a hate crime. Sinn Féin's MLA Declan Kearney stated that these posters, which were later removed by police, were a "sinister attempt" by a small group to cause division. Kearney emphasized the importance of community cooperation and fighting against sectarianism.
