Concern over availability of Hill 16

THERE are concerns that Hill 16 may not be available for the Bank of Ireland football Championship double-header in Croke Park on Saturday.

Despite assurances and expectations from Special Olympics organisers, strong winds have led to a delay in the deconstruction of the stage on the terrace, which was used as part of the opening and closing ceremonies for the games.

GAA officials confirmed that they had initiated the printing of tickets for Hill 16 and still hoped that the terrace would be available to them.
