Chairman of the Waterford county board Sean Michael O'Regan said they were investigating the situation after becoming aware of it yesterday.

"Everybody has been exemplary up til now, everybody has done the right thing up to now, with going to matches, before matches and during the matches, and obviously in this specific case it hasn't happened and we're investigating and Dungarvan GAA club are in talks with the HSE now and we'll see where it takes us."
