The GAA pundit said he "in no way intended to demean them by comparing them to Clones".

The Sunday Independent article also made reference to home-owners charging for parking on their property during the Ulster Final.

Ciaran Morgan says the fans, residents and players, all want the Ulster Final to remain in Clones, and that it's "hard to understand" why the GAA potentially don't.

Permission for a redevelopment of the stadium was granted last year.

A litter pick was conducted from 6am this morning to remove any remaining waste.

For the second year running, the final will be played outside of St Tiernach's Park.

There are concerns the Ulster Final could move from Clones.

It's the second year in a row that St Tiernach's will not host the final.
