A joint fundraiser at Páirc Uí Chaoimh featuring soccer and GAA matches is just one of the proposals that was discussed by Croke Park's ruling Management Committee on Friday night.
The Irish Times is reporting that such an arrangement, with the funds raised split between the family of the late Irish international who died in February and a fund for seriously injured GAA player, will be approved on Saturday.
This is when the Management Committee will put their preferred proposal before Central Council, the body which runs the GAA between meetings of Annual Congress.
"The management committee are meeting tonight and they’re discussing all the permutations of the Liam Miller story that has dominated the headlines over the past week to ten days," said RTÉ Television Correspondent Marty Morrissey on the Nine O'Clock News.
"There are a number of proposals being discussed, such as perhaps playing a hurling match before a soccer match if Páirc Uí Chaoimh was to be opened.
"As a result there’d be more money gathered and perhaps there’d be more than one beneficiary. There’s a special meeting of Central Council on Saturday morning and if the Management Committee are positively disposed they may recommend that Páirc Uí Chaoimh be opened for the Liam Miller charity match."
A special charity match to benefit the family of father of three Miller, who died of cancer at just 36-years-old, has been arranged for Turner's Cross on 25 of September.
The organisers approached Cork GAA about holding the game at the 45,000 capacity Páirc Uí Chaoimh, as Turner's Cross holds just over 7,000, but Croke Park said their rules didn't allow this.
There has been a public outcry since then and it is believed that the game's organisers have said to the GAA that this won't be a competitive game so therefore won't breach their rules.
Under the GAA's rules, Croke Park is the only one of their grounds that can be used to host soccer and rugby, though saying that this fixture is non-competitive may be way to get around this.
