‘Stadium should host big games after revamp’

Páirc Uí Chaoimh should be chosen to host All-Ireland quarter or semi-finals when it reopens in 2017 following a €70 million upgrade, according to the Cork County Board chairman.

Bob Ryan said when the venue is re-opened it should benefit from big matches and big name concerts.

He made the comments after An Bord Pleanála gave the green light to the redevelopment yesterday.
