Speculation is mounting that the world's biggest boyband, One Direction, could perform at Cusack Park, Mullingar in September.

Westmeath chairman Sean Sheridan revealed at a recent county board meeting that the venue will be holding a two-day concert on Friday, September 13 and Saturday, September 14, which will generate up to €30,000 for the Westmeath GAA coffers. And while the concert line-up has yet to be confirmed, there are strong rumours that One Direction - which features Mullingar's Niall Horan - could be the headline act.

"Fundraising is difficult in the current climate and, having considered our options, we will be holding a concert in Cusack Park on September 13 and 14. We are aiming to raise between €25,000 and €30,000," Sheridan is quoted as saying in the Westmeath Topic.

"We won't be doing anything, only leaving the venue at the disposal (of the concert organisers). There will be a committee organising it and they will have to leave Cusack Park the way they got it. It's just like they do in Croke Park." Tweet
