Páirc Uí Chaoimh games faced injunction over traffic chaos fears

City Hall officials considered injuncting the Cork County GAA Board in a standoff over its mobility plan just hours before the revamped Páirc Uí Chaoimh hosted its first major games.

News of the warning shot fired across the bows of the GAA emerged yesterday as residents praised a major traffic plan which they said should act as a blueprint for future stadium events.

City Hall said that they gave consideration on Thursday to injuncting the games because officials were not satisfied with elements of the mobility plan submitted by GAA chiefs on Wednesday.
