Munster GAA chief executive Kieran Leddy has called for Gaelic games to be included in plans for multi-sport facilities.

Insisting such infrastructure can’t be deemed municipal if they don’t include the GAA, Leddy took issue with suggestions the government has been over-generous to the organisation in supplementing its own capital initiatives at the expense of other sports.
