Shane Ross, who gave millions to a private college in Dublin. He should be careful taking on the GAA on this issue.

And anyone can use the pitch in Wesley.

This was my point. The GAA mismanaged this so badly the minister is openly saber rattling, and it wont cost him a vote.

Really? Free of charge?

Of course not. What sports facility anywhere is free rental?

Wesley was a mess, but at least the broader community can use it. This is not the case for GAA facilities, qs we have seen this week. We now have the Minister and Minister for State openly threatening the current funding model and they will have support from within the GAA. Thats how badly this has been handled.

Full of fool nonsense.

Why would anyone come on a GAA board to do nothing but criticize the GAA and claim to be a GAA person when you are so obviously not.

[Jinxy]

Yeah, the Thomas Davis affair.

So its ok to pop at them 10 years later, but its an outrage when they do the same?

I don't follow you.

You are rehashing the argumebts of 10 years ago online and then giving out about Rovers fans doing the same. The penny will drop in time.

I still don't follow you.

Deliberately so i think.

You are mirror images of each other.

Point out to me where I rehashed the arguments of 10 years ago.

I'm always suspicious of the one agenda posters.

Picking on this one small issue to bash the GAA and overlooking everything else the GAA does. He's definitely not a GAA person.

Meanwhile I read that Louth Co Council are to  develop a soccer complex to include a new "home" for the Drogheda professional club.
A great day for Louth "football" says John Delaney.
Wonder will there be any full sized GAA pitch included?
How many Social houses could be built for the cost of this soccer handout?

[dublin7]

That won't work. The ground is still controlled by the GAA. If they don't want to rent it to some crowd they can still refuse. Lifting the rule is one thing, letting any amount of other games in is an entirely different issue.

As with Wesley if I wanted to run a fundraising match for Paddy Jackson they can still refuse to let me rent the pitch.

Why do you keep trying to compare the Liam Miller charity match with Paddy Jackson?

Of course any organisation/individual has the right to say no to anyone who wants to use their property. The issue here is why would you say no to game were the proceeds will go to a widow, children and a hospice?

Not as many as the €190m that Lansdowne Road received

Who 'owns' Lansdowne Road?

[Rossfan]

IRFU.
As far as I know its leased to a "Company" of FAI/IRFU/Dept of Sport until debts are cleared.
Then IRFU have total ownership again.

As i understand it, IRFU own the land, FAI and IRFU co own the building.
