Páirc Uí Chaoimh redevelopment plan under scrutiny

Eagle-Eye rather than Hawk-Eye will determine the fate of the GAA’s plan to carry out a €70m redevelopment of Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

The plan has come under the scrutiny of An Bord Pleanála, which yesterday launched an oral hearing into it which could take up to three days to complete.

Bord Pleanála inspector Hugh Mannion heard Cork County Board put its case for the redevelopment of the stadium, which will include state-of-the-art playing and training facilities, performance assessment and rehab facilities, an all-weather pitch, restaurants, conference facilities and a museum.
