City’s great sporting chance

I FIND it most encouraging that the GAA and Cork City Council are seeking to develop Páirc Uí Chaoimh into a 60,000-seater stadium (Irish Examiner, October 17).

This is most welcome.

I have also read that the city council is making this whole development possible by acquiring the 22 acres of the Munster Agricultural Society (MAS) through a compulsory purchase order.
