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.

Munchie

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

Yes, but Meath and Louth people vote.

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 ?
