    Did I read correctly that a decision was passed at congress allowing clubs to open their grounds to other sports??

    How did that fly in under the radar and not get coverage in the media?

    Cause it's only overseas grounds, not the ones in Ireland

    A wee bit late seeing this, but the rule change was to deal with a technicality in that clubs and county boards abroad may have to go into a joint ownership arrangement with non GAA clubs in order to get a facilities at municipal grounds. Its not the GAA building grounds and letting in soccer, its the GAA getting cut price grounds from local authorities but they have to formally cooperate with other sports on their joint ownership and use.

    Thanks to the pull that the GAA has with the government, that's not a situation that exists in Ireland because the legal agreements can be shaped to suit the GAA rule book, which is not a flexibility that exists abroad.
