Update: Munster Council changes Cork-Kerry venue to Killarney, Cork meet to consider decision

Cork's football team management had written a strongly worded letter to their executive stressing its wish to play in Cork rather than Fitzgerald Stadium

Munster GAA has confirmed the Cork-Kerry provincial football semi-final on May 7 will be played at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney, and not Páirc Uí Rinn, as was originally agreed.

The deciding factor in removing home advantage from Cork and refixing the game for Fitzgerald Stadium was Páirc Uí Rinn’s 11,000-maximum capacity, a figure that was deemed too small by Munster Council to stage a Cork-Kerry Munster championship clash.
