A €50 million pledge from the Government to rebuild Casement Park remains in place, Taoiseach Simon Harris has said.

The Taoiseach said while he shares the disappointment that the stadium will not be built in time for Euro 2028, the opportunity to have a “top-class sporting facility” in Belfast must not be lost.
