Sports Minister Gordon Lyons says the Unionist community have concerns over some aspects of the GAA but declared he would welcome the opportunity to attend a GAA match once he receives an invite to do so.

Since taking up his post in the NI Executive, DUP man Lyons has had hundreds of offers to attend various events but, speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, he said to date that there have been no invitations from the GAA.
