I'll believe it when the diggers move in

I'll believe it when the diggers move in

Not even then, they might use the diggers for demolition and not build anything.

You'd like to think they'll not eat in with demolition without planning, I know they could find a few out of work demolition experts but I think they've been decommissioned

You could set up the digger and charge people to drive it about wrecking the place.

Cancer will be cured before Casement gets its first game!

In its financial report for the year ending 31 October, the cost of a lack of gate receipts is laid bare with the GAA now 27.1m euros in debt.

When the deficit at provincial and county level is factored in that figure rises to 34.1m.

The GAA confirmed the losses will not impact on the redevelopment of Casement Park with funding of 15m already ringfenced for the project.

The GAA reported a loss in revenue of 68m euros due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Saw that there now too, the GAA said funding was ring fenced but who knows what way it will go

Would there be any other "Amateur Sport" with such volumes of money required to run it?

[clarshack]

would be some money to build Casement now as the price of materials since the start of the year has sky rocketed.

Olympics are pretty expensive i guess.

Project has to have question marks over it again - GAA funding for these projects in doubt and serious questions how the shortfall on current projected costs will be funded. Unlikely to be from GAA pot.

The Louth project in Dundalk also has question marks now, hopefully only a delay rather than a complete stall.

Sounds to me like a bit of horse trading in terms of who is going to meet the shortfall, or more like where each party is going to meet on it.

The NI Executive funds the shortfall. End of story. SF and Nicola Mallon should come out and make that point. No matter if it costs 200m it gets built.
