The GAA’s primary stadium has reviewed its safety procedures and will impose a ban on large bags and backpacks.

THE GAA HAVE confirmed that this weekend will see them impose new rules around the size of bags people may carry with them to events in Croke Park.

The 82,300-capacity Dublin venue says that they have undertaken a review of their safety procedures with relevant authorities and have decided to ban ‘large bags’ and backpacks from being brought to the stadium from this Sunday (25 June).
