Gaelic Grounds now a ‘burden’ warns Limerick secretary Mike O’Riordan

Limerick secretary Mike O’Riordan has expressed his deep concern over the viability of the county’s flagship GAA venue.

In his report to next Monday’s annual convention, O’Riordan reveals that the Gaelic Grounds is becoming a financial “burden” due to the lack of significant championship games at the Ennis Road venue.

A crowd of 31,488 filed through the turnstiles for the Limerick-Tipperary Munster SHC semi-final in June, but no other game at the venue in 2015 recorded an attendance of over 10,000.
