Cork votes down Rule 42 motion

The Cork County Board has voted against changing the controversial Rule 42 and opening up Croke Park to other sports.

The Cork County Board will vote to retain Rule 42 at this weekend's GAA annual congress.

Cork delegates met late into the night last night. County board chairman Jim Forbes told delegates that the decision could only be taken at the county convention, but as the motion was not debated at the convention, the county had to vote against opening up Croke Park.
