Casement Park in line for major overhaul - 40,000 all seater Stadium.

Get it out for tender immediately, get a start made.

Surely the DUP are going to turn this request for extra funding into a political football. They've a brass neck of course but we know what they're like.

Money already ring fenced as it was agreed, along with Winsdor and Ravenhill. Don't think they can stop anything on it now as it was part of the deal not to build a national stadium for all 3.

The original funding was ringfenced.

The extra £40m? or so that the delay has added to the cost has yet to be found.

The GAA are adamant that they are not increasing their original £15m contribution

So that basically leaves Stormont

Build what ye can with the money available!

Aye, dead on.

Redesign the whole thing and we'll go back to the planners.

A cracking idea.

Clones is as Ulster football as Cavan's 39 titles and goes back to partition plus NI's occasional lapses into communal violence. It's in the RoI and it can continue regardless of what chaos there is in the 6 counties. Cavan doesn't win as much when things are quiet. If Belfast has a fine stadium it should be used.

Cavan have 40 titles 

All but the last 2 are rarely mentioned outside Cavan

Please stop pontificating immediately as ye haven't a notion

The biggest mistake Antrim GAA ever made was handing over the keys (and there have been plenty of mistakes). Ulster Council clapping themselves on the back this afternoon. Jokers.

It's just gona turn into another Cork mess with their stadium, Price materials went up 30% in the last year,

Sure, prices will be up, but it won't be a mess like Cork. This is set to be used regularly, and if built as meant to, will be fit for purpose. PUC was a white elephant even before being rebuilt

Is it pencilled in for 3 or 4 concerts every year?

Really? When?

One Ulster final per year -We have Clones
One all ireland Quarter final per year-We already have options
Two big concerts per year?-What?
Plus Antrim Hurling and Football-Couldnt fill Corrigan
Ulster Club hurling Finals-Loads of options
Ulster Colleges Finals, depending on who is in them-Naw
If the Aussie Rules thing ever returns it could host one of them-Clutching
Plus Rugby World Cup/ European Championships if they ever happen
Full 4 times a year, busy quite a few others.- We have the grounds already

Clones is a kip and needs updating. No options in the North for an AIQF

Clones a nightmare for traffic - in and out.

Be quicker going to Croker!

That depends on where you live. The places near Casement like Down and Antrim are useless, while there is at least some interest in places nearer Clones.

I'm sure the Gaels of Ardara and Malin are delighted. This has nothing to do with the "Gaels of Ulster" Bully boy tactics .
