GAA club to hold urgent meeting after joyriders damage pitches puts club's 'survival at stake'

A GAA club is holding an urgent meeting with council officials and gardaí this week after further damage to its two pitches by joyriders over Christmas had put its “survival at stake”.

Dublin club Croí Ró Naofa said children at the club were at risk of being struck by scramblers and quad bikes tearing up and down Killinarden Park, in Tallaght – and called for extra garda powers to address the problem.
