How to have your say on Croke Park issue

THE best stadium in the country is owned and run by a single sports organisation which has no problem putting its hand out to accept government grants to help build it and to develop their games.

At the same time, however they refuse to conduct valid fund-raising activities like allowing all interested parties to use their facilities, when available.

I believe that all government aid to the GAA should be suspended until they act in a responsible manner when it comes to funding their sport.

The GAA have no problems letting American football be played on their pitches, so this is a clear case of sectarianism. It is OK for them to discriminate against certain sports, while supporting others. I believe there are a lot of people whose voices are not being heard on this issue.

To this end I have set up a website www.opencrokepark.com to facilitate an open debate.
