Croke Confidential

As I write this blog, I really can't believe what has just been sent to me. Now, how I got this document is another story and one I will tell you about shortly but I must admit I debated with my inner self as to whether or not, to display the document online.
However, after much deliberation with myself, I thought - why not? After all, the amount of hard working volunteers out there who give up their evenings and weekends for the development of Gaelic games have a God given right to know what is being planned for the future of their sport.
Kwiecien Pierwszy, who runs a paper shredding firm in North Dublin was amazed when one of her employees passed her a piece of paper that had been found on the floor at the side of a recycle bin on the administration level of Croke Park. The employee who did not wish to be identified, had innocently glanced at the piece of paper as they lifted it and couldn't believe their eyes when they seen what was contained within the document.
The employee passed the item onto Kwiecien as soon as they had returned to the depot because they knew it was too big a story to destroy it. Now, Kwiecien, who I know very well from the past, made her mind up that I should be the one to decide what gets done with the - lets say 'sensitive' piece of information in her hand.
The package was delivered just days ago and as I opened the recorded delivery envelope, I could hardly contain my excitement or fear.
This subject has been debated for the last few years amongst gaels in every part of the country or world for that matter and now I was looking at something in black and white that would put paid to any debate, be it here in Ireland or across the ocean in Boston.
There is only one copy of this document on my person. I have scanned the item and kept one copy of the scan on a memory stick, safe from any wanting hands.
Please feel free to express your utter frustration and anger once you have had time to read over the memo and calmed yourself down.
