Local GAA club says it is willing to work with St Brigid’s RFC to find a solution to row that has ‘divided the community’

Local GAA club says it is willing to work with St Brigid’s rugby club to find solution to row that has ‘divided the community’The GAA club, Geraldine P Moran, known as “the Gers”, has played rent-free for the past 65 years on a parish field located next to Dunnes Stores in Cornelscourt that is managed by Foxrock Catholic parish for a Dublin diocese trust.

A “side agreement” between the parish and the GAA club, which has been seen by The Irish Times, stipulates that both parties “agree to permit the continued use of the premises by the sporting clubs and other users in the same manner as has taken place to date”. The agreement also stipulates that arrangements for usage “will be confirmed each year in a written agreement”, which will include a formula for sharing running costs.

Ger Moffatt, chairman of the GAA club, said it was willing to work with the rugby club to find a solution.
