Central Council now has power to open grounds and stadiums to non-GAA events

Central Council will now have the power to open up provincial, county and national grounds to non-GAA sports following an overwhelming backing in Congress in Wexford today.

After the Liam Miller charity game controversy last year, the GAA were obliged by their own rules to reconsider the rule in relation to their property rules and 91% of delegates gave their backing to the amendment.
