    Is it possible that there could be a compromise solution that would keep nearly everyone happy?
    If you look at the hill it rises to almost the top of the "middle" level of the Hogan and Cusack stands.
    If the hill was left as it is - a standing terrace - and a top, seated tier was built to join the Hogan & Cusack stands to complete the bowl effect, which should also increase the capacity by a few thousand.
    This may or may not be possible with the railway, but as was stated earlier, solutions were found to similar problems at the other end of the stadium.
    I'm sure the local residents would still have understandable issues but does the existing shadow of the stadium not already interfere with the sunlight to the properties surrounding Croke Park?

    Would imagine it would be far more difficult and costly to build over the elevated railway line at the hill end than it would be to build over the line at ground level at the canal end
