Cavan and Dublin motions favour opening up Croker

CAVAN and Dublin have passed motions which would give Central Council the power to decide how to use Croke Park for the benefit of the Association.

While the debate has caused rancour in some counties, there were few dissenting voices as both motions passed with overwhelming majorities.

In Dublin, Kilmacud Crokes proposed giving Central Council the power to sanction which what other sporting events can take place within Croke Park, and that use of the stadium must be maximised for the benefit of the Association. The motion passed by a whopping majority, 174 votes to 34, something which must have delighted GAA president Sean Kelly, guest of honour at the convention.
