County mayor offers to act as honest broker in talks

The Mayor of County Cork has offered to act as an honest broker to ensure the GAA holds the Liam Miller memorial fundraiser in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Cllr Patrick Gerard Murphy said he would also request his counterpart in the city, Lord Mayor Cllr Michael Finn, to join in any likely talks to persuade the GAA to open up its 45,000-capacity stadium for the match.

He made the offer after county councillors unanimously called on the GAA to facilitate the charity soccer match, in order to help raise more funding, and also satisfying more sports fans.
