Support for GAA stadia is still expected

ULSTER COUNCIL says its support for a £57m multi-sports stadium project will not free the Government of its obligation to financially aid the GAA in future development of stadia for its own games.

The GAA has agreed to stage games along with soccer and rugby at a proposed new multi-million pound sports stadium for Northern Ireland.

Council Secretary Danny Murphy said that they had a requirement to have all of their stadia brought up to the standard stipulated in their Strategic Plan by 2111.
