What the proposed redevelopment of Casement Park would look like.
Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael, Larry McCarthy, today welcomed the news that the Irish Government will support the redevelopment of Casement Park with €50 million worth of funding.
“It's very good news that the Irish Government are coming in behind it," said McCarthy. "As you know, we've been very, very patient.
“We'll take that now into consideration but ultimately we still don't know what the total cost is going to be so that's an important consideration, but it's very very good news in terms of Casement for the Ulster Council, for Antrim GAA, and the GAA in general.
“It'll be huge, it'll be a magnificent step forward once it gets done.”
The GAA itself has commited to contributing £15 million (€17.5 million) to the propsed development of a new 34,578 capacity all-seater Casement Park, and last year Central Council granted permission for both it and Croke Park to be included in a formal bid for the 2028 European Soccer Championships.
