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

[Duine Inteacht Eile]

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.

It was my understanding that Dublin was chipping in to get the Euros, not the stadium build in general. I think that €50m is long gone.

Your understanding is not correct. You have said previously that you read this somewhere and that you would dig it out. You didn't come back.

There is an issue though, when it proposed that Dublin are giving Antrim much more than it has given other counties in the 26. Why would a Louth or Meath person, counties with stadium projects, not think that a bit unbalanced? They could give half of what Stormont gives on the basis that they have 3 of the 9 Ulster counties, but more than that is a stretch. Perhaps a new rugby world cup bid can be devised to provide some cover?

They aren't giving anything to Antrim. Antrim have zero ownership or control over the use of Casement Park. Dublin has put forward the funding for Ulster GAA's stadium.

And to be honest, a Meath or Louth or Antrim person can think whatever the hell they like about being shafted but if this saga has taught us anything, governments and, indeed, the GAA don't give a single fcuk about what's right and what's not. They do whatever suits themselves at any particular time.

And not one ounce of accountability within the GAA, shitshow from start to finish.

Yes, but Meath and Louth people vote.

Aye, for who their da did.

[seafoid]

The money from Dublin will be paid in a spirit of cross border cooperation as soon as the politicians in Stormont get the finger out. Any movement on the A5 either ?

[Munchie]

You having a laugh?

[Rossfan]

That means never then!

[Munchie]

The six counties is a shithole, nothing gets done, committees after committees, civil servants lining their pockets whilst absolutely nothing gets done, nothing works, nothing gets done, nothing will ever get done and there is zero accountability anywhere.  Casement will NEVER get built.

[Rossfan]

Happy Christmas Munchie!

[Munchie]

You better hope the sinners never get the purse strings in the south.

[Rossfan]

That would be mighty altogether.
They'll abolish taxes right left and centre and will have free public services for everyone.

Well be in clover altogether

Never is a long time...When Ireland is united as one the Irish Government will take care of it .

[Munchie]

Doubt it, at that stage they won't need a provincial ground in the 6, it will all be one Ireland, Clones will keep getting face-lifts maybe some new bogs, it might get an Armagh type ground at most.

The Irish government can more easily spend money on Clones than a regular ground for Antrim.
