## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- You do not need a separate GAA Museum ticket if you take a Croke Park tour: entry is included.
- The museum entrance is on the Cusack Stand side (St Joseph's Avenue), not Jones Road or the Hogan Stand.
- The Gaelic Games Experience in Glasnevin is at Na Fianna GAA club, not at Croke Park.
- That Hill 16 was built from 1916 Rising rubble is a tradition, not an established fact.
