Kerry made Páirc Uí Rinn call for players, says O'Sullivan

Kingdom chairman acknowledges that not everyone in the county was pleased with call to agree to Cork's request

The right decision for right now: Kerry County Board chairman Patrick O'Sullivan.

Kerry chairman Patrick O’Sullivan has acknowledged not everybody in the county was agreeable to the decision to accept Cork’s request to play their Munster SFC semi-final in Páirc Uí Rinn – but insists it was made solely for the benefit of the team.

Following Kerry’s statement last week, the Munster Council on Monday confirmed the game will take place at the Ballintemple venue on May 7 (6pm throw-in). Although the home-away agreement (Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Fitzgerald Stadium) has been suspended for this year, the Killarney venue will host any Kerry-Cork Munster SFC game in 2023.
