SEAN KELLY has refused to rule out the possibility of Guinness extending its sponsorship of the All-Ireland hurling championship once the existing deal expires next season.

SEAN KELLY is adamant that the integration of the GAA with ladies football and camogie, at club level, will be beneficial to all three associations.

SEAN KELLY said last night that a threatened demonstration outside Croke Park by a group called the Croke Park Streets Committee Association (CPSCA) would in no way disrupt the association’s annual Congress today.

SEAN KELLY accepts that GAA members who are favourable towards the opening of Croke Park for soccer and rugby need to be reassured that a change of policy would not be extended down the line to other grounds.

Sean Kelly came to Congress 2004 under enormous pressure.
