Cheerio Croke Park

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

I'm surprised to hear that Croke Park will no longer be accessible to any sporting body other than the GAA. It was my understanding that the several million Euros of government money that went into the refurbishment of Croke Park was provided with the proviso that it would become accessible to all sports-- football and rugby included.

Nope, Rugby in Crokers was always going to be temporary. Lansdowne Road is now rebuilt for soccer and Rugby and a lovely stadium by all accounts too... On the down side, 30,000 less seats but on the up side a cosier stadium hopefully means an even better atmosphere!
