Irish Examiner view: GAA's values ring hollow amid Páirc Uí Chaoimh renaming row

The talks with SuperValu may involve renaming debt-ridden Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Ironic, given the legacy of the man whose name it bears, Pádraig Ó Caoimh

As revealed in recent days in the 'Irish Examiner' and on IrishExaminer.com, Cork GAA has struck a sponsorship deal with SuperValu for its main stadium, Páirc Uí Chaoimh, which is likely to be rebranded as SuperValu Páirc.

That deal was debated by delegates at last night’s meeting of the Cork County Board, but readers are unable to read a full account of proceedings because last week the board banned media coverage of those meetings.
