The Croke Park Affair

Sir, - My generation is drifting on to old age. We face its diseases, its impotence, its stiff joints, its absurdities. But to think we should live to see other games played on the sacred sod of Croke Park is the unbearable infirmity. The type of optimism that invaded the news media last week, speculating that games other than the Gaelic variety would be played in Croke Park, was frightening in the extreme.

Even though we live in an age of change, we knew in our Gaelic hearts when Sunday came that the wise men would debate long and earnestly under a full moon and with imagination oozing from their every pore, vote No. - Yours, etc.,
