At 5.33 this evening a loud bang sounded from behind Hill 16 and a banner was unfurled in Croke Park's Upper Cusack Stand. It said 'Let Them Play', an appeal to the Irish Immigration Service who last week denied visa applications for a group of young Palestinian players and mentors ahead of a summer tour to Ireland.
Then a round of applause broke out around Croke Park, an acknowledgement of the existence of the issue which was highlighted by a number of inter-county players, among others, this week.
