Former GAA president Sean Kelly has said there is “no necessity” to play All-Ireland football quarter-finals at Croke Park.
The GAA has attracted criticism for fixing a pair of round two football qualifiers and all four quarter-finals for headquarters for a variety of reasons, among them the cost of living crisis with fuel prices soaring and eye-watering hotel rates in Dublin.
A dismal 16,000 or so turned out for last Saturday’s Kildare-Mayo and Clare-Roscommon double header at Croke Park but the Central Competitions Control Committee resisted calls for at least some of the quarter-finals to be moved out of the capital.
