Ulster secretary favours multi-purpose stadium

THE construction of a multi-purpose sports stadium in Belfast is still favoured by Ulster Council secretary Danny Murphy.

“Much has been stated about the involvement of the Association in this project. From the first time it was mooted until now our position is that if a stadium is being built from public funds, then our Association reserves the right to play our games in the proposed stadium,” he states.

“It became apparent that the GAA needed to consider matters arising from the appraisals already carried out. There are many outstanding issues to be resolved before any further decision can be made, but it needs to be stated that our Association has been involved and responded to each stage of the appraisal process to date.
