On 16 April, GAA Congress took a decision to give the power to central council to authorise the renting or leasing of Croke Park for events other than those controlled by the association during a period when Lansdowne Road is being redeveloped. I was very happy to attend the congress to congratulate the GAA at first hand on making such a positive decision.
