New York GAA ground assessed

HOPES of establishing a new home for the GAA in New York will depend on whether the Croke Park Management Committee decides that the planned development on Randalls Island is feasible.

During the week, President Sean Kelly visited the city and met with the different groups involved in the project. He was accompanied by Brian McEniff and former Dublin captain Tony Hanahoe, having called on their respective business and legal expertise.

Mr Kelly has appointed former president Peter Quinn to oversee the entire project estimated to cost $9 million (E7.4m). The Management Committee has already committed E2m.
