GAA to secure €1.6m key landbanks for Páirc revamp

The GAA is about to secure key landbanks needed to facilitate the €70m regeneration of Páirc Uí Chaoimh stadium in Cork.

City councillors will be asked on Monday to sign off on the disposal to Cork County Board of 6.4 acres of public land at the former Showgrounds, which flank the stadium, for almost €1.6m.

The disposal, if sanctioned, will clear the way for the development of a centre of excellence alongside the stadium.
