Croke Park to remain an option for international matches

The Aviva Stadium may be just weeks away from completion, but the GAA seems determined to keep their headquarters, Croke Park, open for the hosting of rugby and soccer international matches.

The issue was voted upon at GAA Congress in Newcastle, Co Down, today and was carried by a two-thirds majority, with the motion proposing that the GAA's Central Council would have the power to decide on the usage of Croke Park for "other sports".
