Pressure on GAA to host Miller memorial match continues to rise

Public pressure continued to mount on the GAA yesterday with more public figures from the world of sport, politics, and beyond calling on the organisation to allow a tribute match to the late Liam Miller take place at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

The 36-year-old former Manchester United, Celtic, and Cork City player died following a battle with cancer earlier this year.

Tickets for a tribute match in aid of the Miller family and Marymount Hospice, which is due to be held in Turners Cross this September sold out in minutes last Friday — intensifying calls for the event to be moved to the larger 45,000-capacity Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
