GAA’s €67m plan for Páirc faces delays

GAA plans for a €67m regeneration of Páirc Uí Chaoimh could be delayed by months after concerns about the lack of detail in some of its key planning documents.

Planners have asked the Cork County Board for a revised environmental impact assessment in relation to the stadium revamp after determining that the original document failed to deal adequately with key areas, including several flood-related issues as well as crowd control and traffic management.

A planning decision was due at the weekend but this request for further information could push a decision date back several months.
