Cork City Council has confirmed it has received a complaint after the northern stand of Páirc Uí Chaoimh was flattened as part of the stadium’s redevelopment. The demolition had not been listed under the project’s planning permission.

GAA director general Páraic Duffy has allayed fears the Páirc Uí Chaoimh redevelopment project could be in difficulty.

The Cork County Board will press on with the planned redevelopment of Páirc Uí Chaoimh, flatly contradicting media reports yesterday that Government funding for the project was being withheld.
