Slate now wiped clean, says Kelly

TWO years after the Government reneged on part of its promised grant aid for the Croke Park redevelopment, the GAA have obtained a cast-iron guarantee that they will receive €40 million over the next two years.

Welcoming the news yesterday, Association President Sean Kelly described it as “wiping the slate clean”.

Expressing the GAA’s gratitude, he paid tribute to outgoing Finance Minister Charlie McCreevy and Sports Minister John O’Donoghue for the part they had played.
