Croke Park bar plans - GAA alcohol message is ambiguous

Almost 12 months ago the GAA unveiled a commendable and ambitious strategy to counteract the burgeoning problem of alcohol and substance abuse.

They will soon unveil 11 bars at their headquarters in Croke Park, having secured planning permission from Dublin City Council.

Based on both decisions, it is hard to disagree with Mountjoy Prison Governor John Lonergan, that the message being sent out by the GAA in relation to the availability and consumption of alcohol is confusing.
