The GAA have warned that they may have to erect security fences around Croke Park to avoid future pitch invasions.
Two stewards had to be taken to hospital as exuberant Dublin fans rushed onto the pitch before the final whistle last Sunday, after they beat Offaly to claim the Leinster title.
Stadium director Peter McKenna has warned that the pitch invasions must end and if supporters cannot restrain themselves, then drastic action may have to be taken.
'What happened on Sunday was unacceptable. It's fine to say that coming onto the pitch at the end of games adds to the pageantry of the occasion but it's a different matter when innocent people get caught up in it,' McKenna told the Irish Independent.
'Blind exuberance is not a great spectacle. This is an accident waiting to happen unless people start to act responsibly. This is a health and safety issue and if anything goes wrong it will be taken out of our hands.
'We could be instructed to erect security fences that would make it impossible for anybody to get onto the pitch. That would change the whole complexion of Croke Park and take away part of its great charm but safety has to come first.'
He added: 'We have to think very carefully about where we're going on this because it's too dangerous to allow a repeat of what happened.'
