Integration of LGFA and Camogie Association with the GAA: Discussion
Mr. Iarlaith ? Broin:
Absolutely not. That should be the number one move. Having said that, when the GAA uses Croke Park, which is a separate corporate entity, we pay Croke Park. Ladies' GAA and camogie all pay Croke Park. If my school is playing on a pitch that is a neutral venue, we pay for the use of it. When neutral games take place on our pitch in Silverbridge, people pay for the use of the venue. I am not going to condemn any club for doing it but if we are going to move into this one family situation, the first thing that has to go is paying to use facilities. I have to say I was taken aback when I read that in Mr. Molloy's speech. It is worth everybody in this room reading it because it was an outstanding speech.
