The former face of the BBC Northern Ireland's GAA coverage has unleashed an extraordinary attack on the corporation for downgrading its coverage of Gaelic games and subjecting him to "racial harassment". Self-proclaimed "Mr GAA" Jerome Quinn is representing himself in a case against the BBC in which he alleges unfair dismissal and discrimination. He was sacked last year after his employer discovered he had been posting anonymous criticism of its coverage of Gaelic football and hurling on a GAA discussion board. The award-winning presenter said they were an attempt to "inform fans of what was behind anti-GAA coverage in BBC NI". read full story / add a comment
