There’s no going back on opening up Croke Park, warns Mulvihill

GAA chief Liam Mulvihill insisted yesterday there was nothing he could envisage happening to prevent rugby and soccer internationals going ahead at Croke Park next year.

Mr Mulvihill was responding to misgivings by Cork Central Council delegate Bob Honohan regarding the decision at last year’s Congress which paved the way for the FAI and IRFU to stage games in the GAA’s headquarters.

Mr Honohan has claimed delegates were under the impression that soccer and rugby would only be allowed into Croke Park when redevelopment work began at Lansdowne Road.
