GAA give green light to Croker Heineken Cup semi

GAA officials have this afternoon overwhelmingly given their backing to the use of Croke Park for a Heineken Cup semi-final, following a meeting of the GAA's Central Council at Hayes Hotel in Thurles.

The IRFU's application to host a potential semi-final, should Munster win their quarter-final tie against Welsh side Ospreys in April, was discussed in length at the meeting and was met with little opposition.
