GAA should help to redevelop Gaelic Park

How far away are you really, no matter the distance you’ve travelled?

This day last week I was up in Gaelic Park watching a couple of football games (through jet-lagged eyes, I have to admit - a match report would have had vast swathes of ‘nothing much happened’ to coincide with my power naps.)

Before the second game John Riordan, formerly of this parish, introduced me to the referee down to handle it - local ref John Fitzpatrick, who had recently run the line at the Clare-Kildare NFL final back in Croke Park.
