Cork could lose out on big games

CORK is in danger of losing out on major Munster championship games in the future unless Páirc Uí Chaoimh is upgraded, Secretary Frank Murphy has accepted.

And, rather than adding on a second tier on the Showgrounds side of the ground to restore the capacity to its original level of 50,000 it would require the demolition of the covered stand and the construction of a new two-tier stand at a cost of 20m.

Mr. Murphy told county board delegates that it could only be undertaken with government and civic grant-aid.
