Irish government will end up bring the ultimate guarantor, shore up any financial shortfalls. Imo.

About time they done something for the North after ditching us for 100 years

From Bel Tel

61% of unionists say they would prefer that Northern Ireland hosted no Euro 2028 games if the only choice of venue here is the GAA's Casement Park.

Shocking.

I thought it would have been much higher than 61%

If ever there was an incentive needed, it's this.

[Itchy]

Unionists really should move to Israel, they've so much in common

Corporate tax take has been falling for 3 months . Not as flúirseach as before.
All costs including future debt servicing costs should be modelled and an affordable cost that does not lead to a white elephant should be defined.  If it is less than whatever Governments +GAA  will pay the project should be scaled down.
Builders and hotel /restaurant owners would benefit from a rebuilt Casement.  Everyone who would should chip in, in order that nobody gets left with an unfair debt load.

Hotel owners should be helping fund Casement. I've heard it all.

Once ye start paying €500 a year "Irish Citizen solidarity Tax"....

Might be able to put some of it to the £500m cost mentioned by a late night poster earlier

The white elephant rolls on.

Build a new covered stand with seats and executive boxes. Cover the terrace on the far side and fix up the end terracing. Build proper toilets.

Done.

Something that perfectly matches the actual user needs (i.e. something like the Athletic Grounds only bigger capacity). Forget about soccer as they won't be paying to maintain it for 50 years.


A lot of people in here obviously have learned fuk all from Cork.

So be it.

Bring the games  to Clones. Let the green and white army Italians and the Germans sample what an Ulster final  atmosphere in the town  is like.

Have you planning permission for any of that?

[Tony Baloney]

Get er built

It won't be built. This is NI.

Those 5 Euro games will go "elsewhere ".

Have a family member deeply involved in the project. It's being built.

They must be the black sheep of the family.

[RadioGAAGAA]

Have you planning permission for any of that?

Are you actually hiding behind the decision making prowess of the planning office?

Another problems is recovering the cost of capital in PUC. They can't charge punters the right price because punters will not pay it. Or can't pay it. So they had to establish One cork to look into 50 ways of raising money.

"A new body called One Cork amalgamates all of the existing organisations working to further the sport across the county...
The organisation has identified more than 50 separate potential revenue streams ranging from naming rights for Páirc Uí Chaoimh, a museum and cafe in the stadium, improved conference facilities, increased concerts and events, advertising and ticket sales."

The central objective is to propel all Cork teams to the pinnacle of their potential, ensuring unwavering support for their success. This involves providing comprehensive financial backing for Cork GAA and stabilizing the financial standing of Páirc Uí Chaoimh (PuC).

The 6 counties are not as flúirseach as Munster so expecting fans to pay the real price of tickets is even less likely.
