GAA board played by rules

THE Cork County GAA Board decision not to allow a vote on the opening up of Croke Park was correct and in accordance with rule and protocol.

The baying from the media and others, with some fair-minded exceptions, suggests that the rules are there to be ignored while at the same time churlishly accusing the board of using them for their own ends.

Rules are there for everyone’s benefit to be implemented without fear or favour.
