GAA to meet Liam Miller match organisers

The GAA has agreed to meet the organisers of a tribute match for the late Liam Miller about hosting the event in Páirc Uí Chaoimh after the Government warned that the association’s previous refusal to grant access to the stadium could breach State aid rules.

On Friday evening, the GAA said it was rule-bound to reject the approach to host the September 25 match between a host of stars who played with Miller during his time at Manchester United, Celtic, and Ireland.

However, less than 24 hours later, the association issued a statement in which it said its president and director general are to meet the organising committee to discuss the event.
