Moran (19) posted the videos on the site six months ago and currently has in excess of 22,000 followers.

He had been due to start last Sunday's Connacht SFC final but was replaced before throw-in. However, he was introduced for the final 10 minutes of the decider.

Moran posted a statement on his Instagram account today addressing the controversy.
