Donegal and Meath have become the latest counties to throw their weight behind changes to Rule 42 that would allow the GAA to open up Croke Park to other sports.
The decision of the Donegal board to back the idea of giving Central Council the power to lease out Croke Park on a temporary basis, is the more surprising one.
Their delegates voted 29-23 in support of a Congress Motion that would see Croke Park become available to host soccer and rugby matches while Lansdowne Road is being redeveloped.
The Meath board's support of the motion was even more emphatic as their delegates voted 51-7 in favour of the changes to Rule 42.
The news from Donegal and Meath's comes on the back of last week's surprise decision from the Tipperary board to support the proposals.
Both Meath and Donegal have voted against opening head-quarters to other sports in the past and their voting power at the GAA's annual congress could prove to be significant.
Meath have one of the largest voting blocks at Congress with 11 votes, while Donegal have seven.
