Plus apartments according to this article. I'd be more interested in what the church will do with the proceeds. Some if not all of it should be returned to the government and hopefully given to charity.

Why would they give it to government?, they already squander our tax (children hospital, rural broadband et.). You should be more concerned about how your tax is spent and leave the church to look after their own business.

Like the €1.3 billion of taxpayers money bailing them out of abuse scandals?

Some competent stewards for the carpark would be a start.

Is the croke park Hotel not regularly booked out? Ideal location for tourists. There's demand in Dublin for more hotels so I think it would be a wise move for the association. It would be a big money spinner.
