Any news on Conor Doherty?

[If there's grounds for the GAA to negotiate on the grounds that this additional spend to upgrade to UEFA specification is not something they should have to foot then IMO they'd be well within their rights]

How can it go from £80m to over £300m in a few years?

That's mad Ted.

It's only a 30, 000 seater stadium.  Imagine if it was 60 000.

Begs the question, how much would a 20, 000 seater cost to build?

Well Spurs stadium is 60k and it cost over a billion!! Not saying this is similar spec but gives you an idea.

Evertons new stadium is 55K and it's costing £500M.

Some QS or other reckons it would cost just over £200M to build Casement if it was purely specified for GAA games, but if you add in the additional requirements for a UEFA spec'd stadium then it could cost closer to £300M to complete.

Obviously they aren't footing it. They aren't budging beyond £15m.

They are also treading a tightrope of "No bother, we'll use one of the good to go grounds we have on the reserve list."

That's a starting position that £15M, I'd hardly expect Jarlath to come out and say that Antrim GAA are going to cough up another £30M or the likes.

A decade later, this is our "starting position"?

Well you being an Antrim man/person are you aware of any fundraising initiatives from Antrim CB towards this?

Why would Antrim fundraise for a stadium that isn't theirs.

Pay back for 30 years !
9% of portion of salary above £ 25000 threshold

Absolutely cheapest borrowing you'll ever get, but it's still a debt.

its 6.25%. I have been qualified 8 years now and been repaying, I just checked there and I still owe 27k. I borrowed 26607. So I owe more than I borrowed. I'll be paying 200 quid a month until the 30 years is up.

No need to brag about how much you earn!

How can a school run up a deficit? Does it have access to credit?

As far as I can see the Ulster Council can't produce any evidence of a funding commitment.  Did Chris Heaton Harris tell them something over a scone, sure that's worth nothing with a Tory Minister.

Where is the requirement that Ulster GAA must provide this? If they've been told it's being funded why the need to tell us?

No need, although it is central to the whole issue and if they had something concrete, it wouldn't be hard to say what the commitment actually was - a letter, an email, a conversation???.

But the point I'm actually making is that some people are boldly saying it 'will' be built, but how can you be so sure the UK government will stump up the missing £100+ million?

I'm not sure if it will be stumped up but it would be extremely silly if it wasn't. I've spoken with people involved with the project in the civil service and apparently the benefits that Casement will bring are huge. So the Executive and Gov both know this so it's silly to even think it might not go ahead.

For all the talk of the work starting last week the social club is still open and nothing has happened yet.

Yeah 5% + £1500. Happy enough. Slightly above inflation for first time in many years. Goes someway to offset last years clusterf**k.

It's from Aug 23. If you go back then it's below inflation. I'll not complain much though. I'm looking forward to news for Aug 24 pay.

Is it deleted now?

Just the first post for some reason. Very odd.

I'm fking sick of all the anti Casement stuff going about. Pure sectarianism.

NICS offer out. 5% and £1500.

It will be interesting to hear what has been offered to the rail and bus workers.  I suspect we will hear that soon, with the 3 day strike now suspended.

5% and £1500 lump sum apparently, that NICS offer mentioned above is not legit apparently.

Health workers being balloted on 5% and £1500 lump sum

What makes you say that? The picture I was sent looked legit.

I asked a union member this morning and he said he had also seen it but has been advised there is no offer on the table yet. We will probably know soon enough

Cheers
