Work has begun to replace the entire pitch at Croke Park following a run of concerts by American country star Garth Brooks earlier this month.
All of the old turf has been stripped away and the playing surface has been releveled in preparation for the new pitch to be laid down in the coming days.
In the past, the association used to import new turf from England, which was stored in refrigerated lorries, which caused issues with the quality of the final surface.
