No ‘special cases’ for opening of grounds, says Munster chief

THE GAA’s decision to allow rugby and soccer to be played in Croke Park precluded consideration of any other ground being ‘opened up’, Munster Council Chairman Sean Fogarty emphasised yesterday.

Talk of a ‘special case’ being made for Limerick’s Gaelic Grounds had been firmly rejected, he pointed out.

To have considered this would inevitably have led to special cases being made for county grounds, he said in the course of a short address to the Tipperary Convention yesterday.
