Gaelic Ground-breaking stadium open for business

Jim O'Sullivan applauds the huge effort and commitment which has made the revamped Gaelic Grounds of the leading GAA stadia in the country.

LIMERICK GAA chiefs are confident the restoration of the Gaelic Grounds will encourage the city's business community to be more supportive in the effort to clear the debt of approximately €5m.

However, County Board Chairman Pat Fitzgerald says the priority is not so much the elimination of the debt, but managing it so it does not interfere with other things to promote the games. In the shorter term, one concern is to protect the playing surface.
