Croke Park is to become a make-shift college campus for medical students to allow for social distancing.
The Royal College of Surgeons Ireland has agreed a deal with the GAA that will see 650 students learning at the stadium during the upcoming academic year.
Lectures will be held in spaces normally used for conferences and events from September.
Professor Cathal Kelly is Registrar of RCSI;
"There is no doubt that the academic year ahead will be like no other in our university’s 236-year history. Across the university, our academic and professional staff are working tirelessly to address the challenge of continuing to deliver an exceptional education in a much altered environment."
From Monday to Saturday, students will also have access to study spaces, restaurants and other amenities.
While provisions have been put in place to allow the facilities to be used for sporting events on Saturdays if matches return in the autumn.
Croke Park will supplement the college's city-centre campus and teaching facilities at Beaumont Hospital.
Most of the students that will use the new satellite campus would typically attend lectures in Beaumont.
