Croker chiefs plan to light up International Rules

STADIUM chiefs have lodged a planning application for Croke Park floodlighting - and plan to light up next year’s International Rules series against Australia.

Association president Sean Kelly revealed yesterday that the measure was one of the three remaining jigsaw pieces that will complete the widely acclaimed redevelopment of GAA headquarters.

Mr Kelly estimated that the cost of the floodlighting system would be €3 million, and with local authority permission, would be available next autumn.
