Limerick opposed to Hill 16 barrier
by Setanta Staff , 07 December 2010
The Limerick County Board are to put forward a motion which calls for the controversial Hill 16 barrier to be removed.
The GAA ordered the barrier be erected in front of Hill 16 last summer in a bid to stop the traditional end-of-match pitch invasions. At the time it was claimed that the barrier would act as a deterrent to those in the rest of the stadium, but the Limerick County Board does not agree.
The Milford Club in Limerick is unhappy with the fence and is hoping to put forward a motion that will see its removal.
âThe decision taken in Croke Park disregards any views of the GAA membership on the issue. These fences are only at the Hill 16 end of the ground and there has been no mention of putting them anywhere else in Croke Park,â Milford county board delegate John Reddington admitted.
"That seems to imply that there is a lesser grade of GAA supporter on Hill 16. That is a very arrogant attitude to take.
"No official, especially those that arenât elected, have the right to tell a member what they can and cannot do - the ordinary member should have their say. The idea is to remind those in Croke Park that the GAA is still a voluntary organisation and that the views of its members are paramount.
âWe have no problem with the experts and the paid officials taking decisions on issues such as marketing, sponsorship, television and so on, but this is something that strikes deep to the heart of the ethos of the Association.â
Professor Honeydew knows the score
FFS, as if itâs going to be bothering LimerickâŚ
[b]THE GAA wonât be tolerating any softening of attitudes on the use of club grounds for so-called foreign sports, with the Wexford club Faythe Harriers now under investigation for reportedly allowing a local soccer team train on the all-weather pitch at their PĂĄirc Carman facility.
GAA president Christy Cooney yesterday confirmed the matter was being addressed by Wexford County Board, who are due to report to the Leinster Council by the end of the week, and warned that any such breaches of this rule will be taken very seriously.
âWe have a situation whereby we have a report which indicates that grounds which are the property of Faythe Harriers are being used for other sports,â said Cooney.[/b]
âWe have asked, through the Leinster Council, for the Wexford County Board to investigate the matter and after we receive that report we will see where we will go from there.
âBut as Iâve said many times before, if people are unhappy with this rule the only way that it can be changed is to bring a motion to congress to have it changed.
âThat has not happened, and so the rule remains. So we have a responsibility to enforce this rule. Itâs part of my responsibility to deal with it and we will do that.â
Although Central Council still have the power to allow soccer or rugby to be played at Croke Park, the relevant rule (historically rule 42, currently rule 5.1) still applies to all other GAA grounds, and as far as Cooney understands, there is no great appetite to change that.
âI donât think itâs outdated because we have invested a lot of money in these club grounds, specifically for the use of Gaelic games. That is where our rules apply and that is where our responsibilities rest.
âOther sports have their own grounds and itâs their responsibility to use those grounds. We are not there to provide facilities for other sports. We made an exception for the use of Croke Park and everyone knows the reason for that.
âIt was made perfectly clear at the time club grounds were not to be touched under any circumstances and that still applies. This has been made abundantly clear to all clubs, and they received notice of same. So there is no ambiguity whatsoever.â
Earlier this year, Corkâs Nemo Rangers escaped with a warning after reports the Irish rugby team trained at their Trabeg Sports Centre. However, Cooney explained there are sanctions within the GAA structure to deal with any breach of this rule.
âWe will await the report from the Wexford board, and then we will do what is appropriate. But Iâm not going to pre-judge a situation, because we have to check the facts. The report may be true or it may not be true. So we have to be fair and balanced on that.â
Cooney was speaking in UCD yesterday at the draws for the 2011 third level competitions, sponsored by Ulster Bank, including the centenary Sigerson Cup â the finals of which will be hosted by UCD next March.
The format of that competition has changed with all three concluding rounds â quarter-finals, semi-finals and final â played over three consecutive days, on the first weekend in March.
UCD, as the 11 hosts, were automatically put through to the quarter-finals of the competition. There they will be joined by the seven winners of the first round matches. 2009 champions Cork IT were paired with UUJ in what is arguably the most exciting draw of the opening round, while reigning champions DCU will begin their title defence at home to St Maryâs, Belfast.
In the Fitzgibbon Cup, hosts Waterford IT will have to navigate their way out of a group containing UCD and Limerick IT to make it to the quarter-final stages, while reigning champions NUI Galway also face tough opposition in the form of DIT and CIT.
The Limerick motion to have the fence dismantled will be put before congress after it received overwhelming support at the county convention at the weekend. This was despite the top table being against the motion.
The barrier may come down, but the invasions are a thing of the past, weâve grown as a society, this was proven in last years All Ireland finals when two success starved counties lay down in front of their masters orders.
The supporters of Shamrock Rovers have shown that the appetite for pitch invasions is still alive and well in Ireland.
sounds to me like limerickâs got a discipline problemâŚmaybe that is why we beat ye almost half the time
Limerick generally beat Clare alright.
I think it is fair to say that the fencing in Croke Park has been an outstanding success, well done Christy Cooney
