Central Council ‘should take control of Croker’

KERRY BOARD chairman Sean Walsh wants Central Council to be given the power to decide on the use of Croke Park for other sports in order to maximise the commercial potential of the stadium.

Addressing delegates at last night's convention at the Mount Brandon Hotel in Tralee he said that if Croke Park is to be 'opened up', it must be in the best interests of the GAA.

"Croke Park is a stadium with massive potential and that potential must be utilised," he said. "That is why control should be in the hands of Central Council who meet on a regular basis."
