St Pat's ready to talk about ground-sharing

St Patrick's Athletic chairman Andy O'Callaghan has revealed that the club are ready to talk about a groundshare with Shamrock Rovers.

St Pats had kept quiet on their interest up until now and chairman O'Callaghan insists that they are only keeping an open mind.

The Government is keen for Rovers and Pats to groundshare to thwart growing opposition in Tallaght where GAA clubs believe that the ground should also cater for GAA.

O'Callaghan said: "We believe the Government's stance is that the ground will only be completed if both Shamrock Rovers and St Pats are based there."
