GAA may still review Croker deal

THE GAA is not prepared to speculate on the possible fall-out from a serious delay in the redevelopment of Lansdowne Road beyond admitting that in this eventuality, they would have to review the current agreement.

The deal in question permits six international rugby and soccer games to be played in Croke Park next year.

While new President Nickey Brennan has admitted to "serious concerns" over possible delays in the planning process, Director General Liam Mulvihill yesterday dismissed the view that it might be difficult to dislodge rugby and soccer "once they got their foot in the door".
