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

Ya can demand all you like.....

This time next year not a thing will have changed but Clones will have a lovely new facelift, ready for more to keep the Ulster showpiece there for decades to come. There is no more money and at this stage not sure anyone cares anymore build Antrim a home ground and drop this embarrassment.

Have been harping on for years to have this built and TBH it's looking less likely, we might actually have a United Irleand before we have a new Casement.
To see the bitter Unionists faces and watch them squirm if this stadium got the green light would be priceless...

Either way the losers in all this is Antrim GAA.

I think they have only mentioned the figures that would rise with 15 years inflation. The Dublin money wasn't on the table back then and therefore would not be expected to rise with inflation.
However, it must be included in the £170 million figure mentioned at the beginning because the other figures certainly don't get them there.

If the GAA consider that their original funding should be increased to account for inflation, then the £36.5m which Soccer is waiting for for its Sub-Regional funding (part of the original overall deal) should also be adjusted accordingly?

Especially since the delay stemmed from the incompetence etc of the GAA, not that of Soccer (or Rugby); indeed this £36.5m was effectively "held hostage" by successive SF and SDLP Sports Ministers while Casement was trying to be resolved.

Glad you mentioned that as we'd never heard that before

Aye, I'm sure you've all heard it, but how many of you heeded it?

There has to be concern over Stormont's future and the status of Casement funding in the event of collapse (possibly never returning).

What are they waiting on anyway,  they a certain amount of money, go built what u can with it. Big push start of the year to get more money by Burns, nothing happened,not 1 word about it since.

It has followed that exact same process for many years now.

There are people 15 years deep in salary lifting for this.

The mind boggles.

It's the GAA folks it's akin to the Northern Ireland Civil Service buck useless with zero accountability.
