Kilkenny secretary points to profits from opening up Croker

KILKENNY Secretary Pat Dunphy believes financial considerations are now the priority topic when debating the potential use of Croke Park by non-GAA sports.

In his report to next weekend’s annual convention, Dunphy stops short of actually saying the policy on the use of GAA headquarters should be changed. But he suggests a policy change would be of huge benefit in monetary terms.

Equally, while he doubts inter-county players want to be paid, he expresses the view that people who make “huge sacrifices” should be “looked after”.
