Time is running out to organise Dublin's Spring Series, according to County Board chairman Andy Kettle.

Speaking at the launch of the new Dublin jersey yesterday, the Dubs chief revealed the footballers may have to play their National Football League games in Parnell Park.

"The Spring series is in negotiation but, to be honest, I am getting a bit frustrated," he is quoted as saying in The Irish Daily Star.

"We expected maybe a decision on Kildare's home games, which would have cleared the way for us to make some other decisions but that has not been forthcoming.

"I would have to say that I am a little bit disappointed with the lack of activity from Croke Park because it is only there that it will happen or not happen.

"Kildare to entitled to play at St Conleth's, but if the Health and Safety Committee say that they can't, well then the obvious place for them is Croke Park.

"Once we know what is happening we can come to an agreement with Kildare financially and work it out, but being pushed back time-wise we are going to miss the Christmas market from a ticket sales point of view.

"It is not making it any easier so if things don't happen, I won't say reasonably quickly, we will have to look at the possibility at coming back here to Parnell Park.

"We would need to know at the latest by next week." Tweet
