Limerick hurling manager John Kiely has defended his decision to provide a character witness for Kyle Hayes, saying his presence at Limerick Circuit Court was a show of support rather than a signal he condoned his actions.

On Wednesday, Hayes was given a two-year suspended prison sentence after being convicted last December of two counts of violent disorder.

"I think my presence, I wouldn't have gone there unless I wanted to show him that I was there to support him but also that it doesn’t mean I’m condoning what happened at all, quite the contrary. Listen, it’s over, it has been dealt with by the courts, we move on," said the five-time All-Ireland winning manager.

"But ultimately it's down to the individuals who are directly involved. For all their sakes, I'm sure they're glad that this part of it has come to a close."
