GAA must commit to borrowing €70m

THE deferment of the Government funding towards the redevelopment of Croke Park will result in the GAA having to commit itself to borrowings of around €70 million, Director-General Liam Mulvihill has revealed.

And, he said, it may result in the completion of the northern (Hill 16) end being delayed for up to five years.

Meanwhile, there will be no move by the association in the short term on the issue of making Croke Park available for the 2008 European soccer championships.
