A proposal to rename Páirc Uí Chaoimh has been paused for further talks after a public backlash over plans to rebrand it as SuperValu Páirc.

At a behind-closed-doors meeting of the county board on Tuesday night, delegates told the Cork GAA executive that a compromise must be reached to retain the Páirc Uí Chaoimh name in any deal with the supermarket giant.
