Croke Park is used to high emotion and it was clearly in evidence this evening as a special ceremony to mark 100 years of Bloody Sunday was held at GAA headquarters.

Wreaths were in front of Hill 16 by President Michael D Higgins, Taoiseach Micheál Martin, GAA President John Horan and GAA Ard Stiúrthóir Tom Ryan to mark the deaths of 14 people a century ago when Crown Forces opened fire ahead of a football match between Tipperary and Dublin.
