I'm not sure that the process being hoped for here has anything to do with the DUP. To my mind, the original £62 million is sitting there for this stadium and I'm assuming the GAA will stump up their £15 million. The planning approval is in place.
The extra money is never going to come from Stormont but possibly from another body who are pushing for the Euro bid.
What is it you think the DUP could object to? The release of the £62 million?
Speaking of money , I Just heard that Biden was in the north 17 hours and it cost £17 million . Who's paying for that? At the same time, police numbers are to be reduced . That's a lot of police officers salaries there
17m is about a seventh of the 120m (so I hear) of casement cost
It's funny That money can be found when it's needed , yet they can't give nurses a raise , nor find money for kids meals
The figure widely quoted was £7million, not £17million.
That's £7million out of ~£14billion. Or, about 0.05% of annual spend. Some would say that's fairly cheap for getting the leader of the world's largest economy into town for the night.
