Nemo to learn fate after Irish rugby controversy

NEMO RANGERS will learn this week what, if any, sanctions they will face over their decision to allow the Irish rugby team use their Trabeg facility earlier this year.

GAA chiefs called on the Cork County Board to investigate the circumstances which led to Declan Kidney’s squad training at the state-of-the-art grounds after a cold snap left their first-choice venue unplayable.

GAA regulations prohibit non-Association sports from using their facilities, with Rule 5.1 stating that: “All property including grounds, clubhouses, halls, dressing rooms and handball alleys owned or controlled by units of the Association shall be used only for the purpose of, or in connection with, the playing of games controlled by the Association.”
