Game on: €25m boost for Cork with opening of Páirc Uí Chaoimh

It’s game on for the newly refurbished Páirc Uí Chaoimh following confirmation that the Cork stadium will reopen for senior intercounty hurling.

The GAA has announced the 45,000-capacity stadium will be ready and available for July 22, with the All-Ireland hurling quarter final clash between Clare and Tipperary pencilled in as the curtain-raiser at the new-look ground.

Yesterday the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee gave Páirc Uí Chaoimh the green light — a decision that could be worth up to €25m for the city.
