Kelly’s New York visit to support new stadium bid

GAA PRESIDENT Sean Kelly will visit New York next week to add his support to the Irish community’s fundraising drive for a new Gaelic games’ stadium.

Kelly will fly to New York on May 21 and head straight into an investors' meeting in Manhattan, at which he will underline Croke Park's commitment and backing for the Randall's Island Gaelic Stadium.

New York GAA board president Liam Bermingham said: "The project's still ongoing, very much so. Sean Kelly is coming out here later this month ahead of a fundraising ladder we're going to do as we bring the whole plans back to the public."
