Cork\u2019s statement mentioned \u2018the relevant capacity will allow us to meet the demand for tickets from all Cork supporters\u2019 and that \u2018the management of both the hurling and football teams have been consulted throughout the process of arranging the fixtures\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe comprehensive fixture list for 2022 makes the best and most practical use available of facilities owned by Cork GAA during what will be an extremely busy period for P\u00e1irc U\u00ed Chaoimh,\u201d said the Cork board in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the Cork game against Limerick in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship on 17 April, the stadium switches to concert mode to facilitate the series of concerts by Ed Sheeran.<\/p>\n
