WATCH: Residents get private tour of Páirc Uí Chaoimh to see redevelopment progess

Residents living near Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork have been given a private tour to see progress on the multimillion-euro revamp of the GAA stadium, which is on course to host its first games next July.

Ballintemple Area Residents Association spokesman Paddy Mulley said people were impressed by what they saw — many posted pictures and video clips on social media.

“It’s as good as anything you’d see in Croke Park, although more compact,” he said. “Hopefully when the new stadium opens, it will signal a new beginning for all those involved in Cork GAA.”
