GAA concern over Tallaght strategy

THE GAA is seeking an ‘early’ meeting with Sports Minister John O’Donoghue to voice concern over his insistence that only soccer can be played in the planned new stadium in Tallaght.

The stadium is to be the new home of Shamrock Rovers.

A statement issued yesterday inferred that the association did not agree with the minister when he expressed doubts that the protestations of local GAA clubs reflected opinion in the ‘higher echelons’ of the organisation.
