Northern counties still divided on infamous Rule 42

WHILE reaction was muted yesterday, the decision of the GAA to allow Rule 42 be debated on the Congress floor is expected to lead to weeks of feverish discussion in the northern counties.

Some counties, like Armagh and Antrim, have been quite strident in their opposition to opening up Croke Park in the past.

Like the equally divisive Rule 21, for soccer and Rugby to be allowed into Croker, the northern counties will need to be convinced.
