Pairc Ui Chaoimh could still host the tribute match Liam Miller, according to the lawyer

According to Irish jurist Tim O. Connor, a lawyer from Cork, the GAA might find a way to ensure that Liam Miller's match takes place in Páirc Úi Chaoimh without violating their own law. laws could still let the match happen. Failure to consider this could lead to deeper waters.

The match was originally scheduled to take place at Turners Cross but because of its meager capacity of 7000, a request had been made made earlier this week to allow the match to be played at the renovated 45,000-seat park.

The County Council of Cork did not object to the idea, but the GAA did, as their rules do not take into account their stadiums to host football or rugby matches, except for Croke Park.

Rule 1.4 (a) of the GAA Part 1 Official Guide states that "The Association shall actively … help to promote a community spirit through its clubs."

O Connor believes that it cancels rule 5.1, which does not allow By extending the situation on RTE radio 1, he commented: "If you define it as not being a field sport, but as a charity event for fundraising for a volunteer The badociation and the Central Council consider this to be this, address a letter of comfort to the County Council of Cork saying: "We understand this position and the Central Council believes that if a game is under such circumstances, the Central Council would not seek to impose a sanction on the County Council of Cork. "

" They would actually say "we understand, we observe the rules, we will treat them in Congress and we will Let's take no measure to punish "

" I can not dictate to GAA or the Central Council, but these are things that they might want to consider as suggestions or ways to get around them. "

Liam Miller died in February of this year, after losing his brave fight. . Many of Liam's former teammates have already been confirmed for the match, including Roy Keane, Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs, Damien Duff and Robbie Keane among others.

The 7,000 tickets listed by Turners Cross on Ticketmaster sold out within hours, which could lead the GAA to reconsider and to soften his position.
