The English monarch, Elizabeth Windsor, will visit Croke Park next month as part of her state visit to Ireland. It is understood that Liz is keen to visit GAA HQ, despite the fact that many in the GAA would prefer her not to. It is believed that some in the GAA believe that it will bring the wrong kind of attention to the legendary stadium, and pose a major security headache.
If her visit goes ahead, she wont be the first representatives of the British crown to visit Croker. On the 21st of November, 1921, British forces opened fire on the crowd at a Gaelic football match in Croke Park, killing fourteen civilians.
