Plus Gallagher is a lot more high profile than your man from Antrim

Any rules in the GAA defining the severity of crimes? If so, no issue - but there are not as far as I know.
The hysteria around RG may or may not be justified, but in terms of how it was handled by the GAA was a shambles and in particular Burns getting involved in subsequent issues was just him positioning himself in line with popular online outrage at that time.
The whole thing is on it's head - someone with allegations of criminal acts against them being excluded from the organisation vs someone with proven criminal acts are being treated differently.

No issue if someone is suspended pending outcomes of investigations - that would make total sense. Also no issues with expulsion from the GAA for crimes like this if proven, but anything other than that is just subjective and based on personal opinions of a few.
Of course not, just suggesting possible reasons why this one isn't being talked about as much.
