Fitzgerald also commented on the recent spate of attacks on GAA referees and advocated for lifetime bans for anybody found guilty of such offences. Fitzgerald referenced conversations around suicide and depression during the series and urged anybody with such feelings to talk and seek help. We need to listen & encourage lads to talk.

Anything that can be done to get young lads to talk openly about mental health, drugs & depression is a worthwhile initiative.
