If you're going to bring the committee lads up to dublin from Cork surely it's just to say lads we've decided to let you use PuC. To bring them up only to tell them its a definite no or even what they've done and basically said we will think about it and get back to you is just ridiculous

It is really incredible that this is still on-going. The GAA are just buying themselves bad publicity by not just saying they're making the Murphy Bowl available for the charity match. Let the technicalities be ironed out behind the scenes and not in a media circus.

I'd say the conversation was along the lines of, the game will go ahead in PUC, but let us take it from here in terms of managing the announcement/message so we can claw back some goodwill.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Uhh, if that's really how it went the GAA really needs a new PR head.

5.1 Uses of Property
(a) All property including grounds, Club Houses, Halls,
Dressing Rooms and Handball Alleys owned or

playing of the Games controlled by the Association,

the Aims and Objects of the Association, that may

Council.


Is a charity soccer game "in conflict with the Aims and Objects of the Association"?
One of the aims of the GAA is
The Association shall actively support the Irish
language, traditional Irish dancing, music, song,
and other aspects of Irish culture. It shall foster
an awareness and love of the national ideals in
the people of Ireland, and assist in promoting a
community spirit through its clubs 

I feel this charity event meets the last line, of promoting a community spirit. I also feel the actions to date from HQ on this do nothing for the promotion of our games and pass times.

It was also agreed that the most suitable way to celebrate and recognise Liam's involvement in GAA sport at a juvenile level is to have juvenile exhibition games, in both football and hurling, at half time involving young boys and girls from Liam's club Éire Óg," Mr O'Flynn said.

Fair play to all, seemed like a good event. I imagine ManU fans in particular would have enjoyed it, some great moments from the class of 92, even an ABU like me loved the banter between Butt and Neville!

Although, given it was played in a GAA ground, it was sticking out that Dublin still managed to win it!
