Killarney

<h3>The Munster Senior Football Semi-Final between Kerry and Cork will be played at Fitzgerald Stadium on May 7.</h3>
 The game was originally scheduled for P&aacute;irc U&iacute; Rinn as P&aacute;irc U&iacute; Chaoimh due to an Ed Sheeran concert.
 Cork should have home advantage this year but the Munster Council stepped in and decided that the alternative venue was unsuitable as the capacity was not large enough for the anticipated crowd.
 &ldquo;Given the average attendance of the last three Cork versus Kerry matches in the Munster Senior Football Championship held at P&aacute;irc U&iacute; Chaoimh is in excess of 22,000, [not including the Covid restricted match in 2020], Munster Council decided to move the 2022 Munster Semi-Final between the teams to Fitzgerald Stadium Killarney on Saturday May 7 at the earlier start time of 6pm2,&rdquo;said a Munster Council statement.
 &ldquo;Based on the long-standing home and away agreement between Kerry and Cork, following on from this year&rsquo;s game in Killarney, the next two meetings of the counties in the Munster Senior Football Championship will take place at P&aacute;irc U&iacute; Chaoimh. A similar arrangement was successfully used during the recent redevelopment of P&aacute;irc U&iacute; Chaoimh.&rdquo;
