Just when we thought all

FOUR MORE foreign games approved for Croke Park by Central Council for 2008, (friendlies no less). It appears that it’s money over values at this stage. - Magpie Tom 56

THE ORIGINAL Congress motion was on the basis that it was for competitive games only, to stop Irish teams going overseas to play important games. These friendlies are purely about making money and we are again helping a competing sports organisation to generate unprecedented profits from games. I was against opening up Croke Park, but once we ceded the point, well I’m not too bothered about what games are played. Plus they have started on their new HQ so it’s not going to be a permanent arrangement. - Scalder
