The GAA have revealed that two familiarisation sessions for the Irish Rugby team could take place in Croke Park in late January and training sessions in the week prior to the games.
The IRFU had requested this facility. It was also explained that a request from the FAI to use Croke Park for a training session on 5 February could not be accommodated because of the Allianz National League game on 3 February and the following rugby international on the 11 February.
It was stated by the GAA President Nickey Brennan that any request received for an acceptable alternative date would be accommodated.
