Cork City FC fans who chanted about Stephen Bradley's son are to be banned from Turners Cross for life.
Two supporters of the Leeside club have been identified over the "disgusting" chants after Cork's 1-0 win over Shamrock Rovers last Friday night.
The incident happened as Bradley was interviewed after the match, with the fans chanting at the Rovers boss from a pub outside the ground which overlooks the pitch about his son, who is battling leukaemia.

Speaking on Newstalk this morning, Cork City chairman Dermot Usher said: "I just can't believe that people think it's OK to actually chant the things that these guys said.
"For us as a club, we're a family club, we're trying to attract new fans to come and support the team.
"It's not the look that we want - certainly we as a club would apologise unreservedly towards Stephen and his family.
"I met him yesterday, we'd a quick chat about it - it's just not good enough".
Confirming the fans will get lifetime bans, he added: "Two people have been identified, two people have admitted to their wrongs," he said.
"These two guys are going to get lifetime bans".
Bradley hit out at the fans over the chants following Friday's game and said he would be reporting the incident to An Garda Siochana.
"It’s disgusting. I’m going to put in a report to the police. Singing about my son…," said Bradley.
"You take stick. As a football person, that comes with it. That’s your job and that’s fine.
"But speaking about a sick nine-year-old is disgusting and Cork City should be ashamed of them. I want them banned for life. That’s disgusting.
"That has no place in football or society. That’s disgusting behaviour."
