Minister still awaits National Stadium proposals

THERE will be a further delay in any national stadium plans as neither the IRFU or the FAI are expected to meet the April 15th deadline set

Minister for Sport John O'Donoghue said yesterday that he expects the two organisations to submit their proposals at end of the month. He also reiterated a lack of available funding for the completion of Croke Park.

“The deadline was the end of next week, but they have asked for more time to get their proposals ready,” the Minister said. “I hope they submit their proposals soon. Whenever I get them I will send the reports to the Government.”
