Longford club Dromard have been fined €2,000 for having hosted a summer camp last year owned by former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher.

The ex-England star was the special guest for a summer camp run by UCL Harps FC last August, with the camp taking place on the grounds of Dromard GAA.

That has caused the club to fall foul of the rules of governing the use of GAA property by other sports.

The fine was handed down by the GAA's Central Hearings Committee (CHC) at their meeting earlier this week, with Dromard having the option of appealing to the Central Appeals Committee.

The GAA announced the fine in a press release:

An Choiste Bainistíochta (Management Committee) instituted Disciplinary Action against Dromard GAA, An Longfort, alleging a breach of Riail 5. 1 (a) T.O. 2015, which deals with the use of property owned by or under the control of units of the Association.

Dromard GAA requested a Hearing. At the subsequent Hearing, An Lár Choiste Éisteachta (Central Hearings Committee) noted that the Club admitted the infraction and imposed a fine of €2000.

Dromard GAA  have the option of appealing against the decision of An Lár Choiste Éisteachta to the Central Appeals Committee.
