    I don’t know the particulars here so don’t have an opinion but I would love to see a roles reversed story.

  2. Wonder how many members of this rugby club in South Dublin would have aneurysms if it was suggested their own property rights were dubious or attacked in a similar manner.

    Sounds very much like access is guaranteed for all with the sale and there’s no issue and it also sounds like some in the rugby club have done their best to piss off the owners of the site through this process.

    If the Church own the land they can sell it to whoever they want. They sold it to GAA for continued use as sports ground instead of to a property developer and they ensured there was a clause that the Rugby club had continued access. What’s the problem here? Surely the owner of the land has the right to dispose of said land???
