Croker ‘open-door’ supporters must wait for news of debate

SUPPORTERS of the ‘open door’ policy in relation to the use of Croke Park for rugby and soccer, and specifically the ten counties which are reported to have submitted motions calling for a radical overhaul of Rule 42, will have to wait another week at least before knowing if there will be a debate at Congress.

The deadline for receipt of motions and in the case of these and other counties for re-submitting those found to have been flawed passed yesterday without any formal comment from Croke Park.

The official line was that it is 'part of a process' which will be taken further when the vetting committee runs the rule over all motions on February 15.
