"GAA president Jarlath Burns has said a "line was crossed" by protesters against the Association's sponsorship links with Allianz who interrupted Congress on the fifth floor of the Hogan Stand earlier today. The protesters, carrying banners and flags and chanting "Allianz Out", had been part of a rally outside the main entrance to the Hogan Stand, but about 20 breached security and made it up to the Hogan Suite where Congress was taking place."

GAA president Jarlath Burns criticized protesters who disrupted Congress at Croke Park's Hogan Stand over the Association's sponsorship agreement with Allianz. Approximately 20 protesters breached security measures and entered the Hogan Suite where Congress was convening on the fifth floor. The protesters, carrying banners and flags while chanting "Allianz Out," had initially gathered at a rally outside the main entrance before forcing their way inside. Burns characterized the security breach and interruption as crossing a line, indicating the incident represented an escalation in the ongoing dispute regarding the GAA's commercial partnership with the insurance company.
