Gaelic Games
Hurling and Gaelic football are both played on summer Sunday afternoons at Cork's Pairc Ui Chaoimh Stadium, Marina Walk (tel. 021/201-9200). The stadium recently underwent a €30-million redevelopment. Check the local newspapers for match listings or log on to the Gaelic Athletics Association's website at www.gaa.ie.
