GAA president John Horan says the Association will try keep Croke Park free of non-GAA events for July and August.
Galway and Kilkenny have to travel to Thurles this Sunday for the replay of the Leinster Hurling Final because of a Michael Bublé concert at Croke Park on Saturday night.
The decision has been criticised in some quarters, while it has also drawn into focus the decision not to allow Waterford play their Munster championship home games at Kilkenny’s Nowlan Park as it was outside of Munster.
Speaking on RTÉ Radio 1's Morning Ireland programme, Horan insisted both teams were "happy" to play at Semple Stadium, but says it is a situation he would like to avoid in the future.
"Unfortunately plans are made way in advance in terms of signing contracts for concerts, but it is certainly something I want to change that the months of July and August will have no non-GAA events taking place in Croke Park.
"Going forward I’d like to see that change."
Horan was apologetic for the controversy that surrounded the build-up to Kildare’s round three qualifier against Mayo – "I’m sorry that such a situation did develop that one of our National Committees locked horns with one of our county boards" but said lessons had been learned.
He confirmed Newbridge would be Kildare's home venue in the Super 8s, if they overcome Fermanagh at the weekend.
"No matter who the opposition are, it is in rule that each team in the Super 8s will get a home game. That was agreed in Congress and we won't be turning our back on that."
He also rejected the suggestion that Croke Park is "losing touch" with its grassroots and insisted that no matter what decision was made in relation to Kildare’s venue for their qualifier, it would have been met with dissenting voices.
"I’m quite confused and I often feel it’s a bit lazy to throw out such a term as Croke Park," he said.
"Are we distinguishing between our national committees, which are made up of people who come up from the clubs and from the county boards?
I think no matter which side we pick of that argument we always going to come in for criticism, so I would reject that Croke Park has lost touch with the grass roots
"Or are we referring to our staff, the vast majority of them are all involved in GAA clubs and work as officers within their clubs?
"Both those situations I think we are well connected to the grassroots within the organisation. One topic you could throw out is do we go for full attendance at matches or do we cater for everybody who wants to go and change the actual venue? Which do we do?
"I think no matter which side we pick of that argument we always going to come in for criticism, so I would reject that Croke Park has lost touch with the grass roots."
