Páirc Uí Chaoimh delays could cost local economy up to €25m

It was hoped the stadium, which will have increased capacity for 45,000 spectators, would be handed back to the GAA next Sunday.

A 19-day delay in the handover of the revamped Páirc Uí Chaoimh GAA stadium in Cork could cost the local economy up to €25m in lost game-day revenue, by Eoin English.

The Cork County Board has confirmed the stadium, which has undergone a €60m regeneration since it closed in 2014, will not be ready to host this year’s Munster football and hurling finals next month.
