The GAA needs to ensure there is a zero tolerance approach to racism - so it doesn't happen again.

That's according to former Dublin footballer Jason Sherlock, after Wexford captain Lee Chin was racially abused from the sideline during a match on Saturday.

The remarks can be heard in a video which circulated online over the weekend.


Jason Sherlock says banning this individual in isolation isn't enough:

"One punishment to one person isn't going to be enough.  It's about doing as much as we can to educate and we don't tolerate the racist behaviour that we experienced in that video."

"We do have to act on it to ensure that the GAA are taking it seriously. But if we think that this is going to cure everything and that's the solution, unfortunately it's not."
