‘Historic moment’ for association as €285m stadium debt cleared

It has taken around 20 years and nearly €285m in total repayments but it’s finally official — the GAA owns Croke Park.

The retirement and consolidation of various outstanding loans has led to a situation where the figure owed on the Jones’ Road venue is now nought.

It is a historic day for the association having begun construction work on the present stadium in 1993 and completed it in 2005.
