The GAA’s annual congress at Croke Park was disrupted on Saturday by a protest calling for the association to cut ties with sponsor Allianz.

Proceedings were interrupted when several protesters made their way into a conference hall at the Gaelic Athletic Association’s Dublin headquarters and held a banner behind the top table.

Faced with the protest, GAA president Jarlath Burns adjourned the congress for lunch.

Some people have called for the GAA to end its 30-year association with Allianz after a report from UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese last year claimed the German company has profited from Israeli forces being in Gaza.
