Cork GAA are to confiscate Confederate flags if they appear on their grounds.

"We’re a community association and every part of the community is welcome in the GAA” said Kennedy.
Earlier this week, the southern-dominated stock-car sport of NASCAR outlawed display of the flag which is associated with racial oppression.
