It has been anounced today that Ireland will get 2 training sessions at Croke Park at the end of January to familiarise themselves with the ground ahead of the 2 6N matches next season.
It was feared that the Irish team would get no time on the pitch ahead of the 6N given the fact that Dublin face Tyrone in the first game under floodlights at the Northside venue but Nicky Brennan, GAA President, confirmed there would be 2 sessions and that the FAI, who had been refused a session due to a clash with the Dublin match could get a session at an alternative date.
There will also be training sessions in the week of the 2 6N matches.
It's just given the fact that the GAA have been quite precious about the access that this is actually news, but welcome nonetheless.
