Kingdom in favour of keeping Croker open

KERRY County Convention last night voted unanimously to give the Central Council the power to open Croke Park to non GAA activities after the present agreement with rugby and soccer expires.

Dermot Moynihan, who said he was standing in for the former President of the GAA, Sean Kelly, who was out of the country, proposed a motion on behalf of the Kilcummin Club that the current arrangement regarding the use of Croke Park for other than GAA games be made permanent.

He recalled how Kerry had proposed a similar motion some years ago and stressed the positive affect it had on the economy.
