€2m bill for new pitch as Páirc costs overrun

The bill to replace and maintain a new pitch at Páirc Uí Chaoimh could be as much as €2m, it has emerged.

The true extent of the cost emerged after a report placed the revised cost of the stadium regeneration at €95.8m — €10m more than expected but almost €15m less than suggested by stadium and commercial director Peter McKenna in December.
