Political football can’t knock back Páirc plan
It’s outdated, greying and uncomfortable, with tiny dressing-rooms, cramped seats and a forbidding demeanour as it looms up alongside the river Lee. People complain about it. Then they complain further when nothing is done to improve it.
Now there’s more cause for complaint, however. The Cork County Board’s plan to redevelop the stadium and add a centre of excellence and all-weather pitch to the Páirc is being opposed by local government officials and politicians.
