The All-Ireland hurling quarter-finals will take place in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on the 22nd and 23rd of July.
Initially, there was plans that the games between Wexford and Waterford, and Tipperary and Clare would go ahead as a double-header in the Cork city grounds, but they will now take place on separate days due to fears that the grounds wouldn’t cope with the huge crowds a double-header would bring.
So Clare, Tipp, Waterford and Wexford are en route to Cork. Whoever makes the decision, I beg of you not to make it a double header. #GAA

The revamped Páirc Uí Chaoimh will host a clash between Cork city club Glen Rovers and Cork IT next Sunday, but there were still fears that the outside of the ground wouldn’t be able to cope with the large crowds that an All-Ireland quarter-final would bring, but those fears were quashed on Monday.
