Major plans for redevelopment at Páirc Uí Chaoimh have received a green light from An Bord Pleanála, after the GAA was initially refused permission for the controversial revamp from Cork City Council.

The proposals include a new museum, visitor centre and café in a redeveloped South Stand and a children’s playground at the Atlantic Pond. The South Stand would also include enhancements for its use as a conference venue with office hub facilities and break-out spaces.
