Ed Sheeran concert risk over lighting row at Páirc Uí Chaoimh

GAA chiefs in Cork say they are confident that a standoff with City Hall over payments for public lighting upgrades around the redeveloped Páirc Uí Chaoimh will be resolved before the stadium hosts two Ed Sheeran concerts in May.

It follows concerns about poor public lighting on the key routes used by fans to leave the stadium after its first game under floodlights on Saturday.

Fianna Fáil councillor Terry Shannon accused the Cork County Board of dragging its feet on paying for lighting upgrades.
