O’Sullivan hails landmark day as Páirc plans get green light

A LANDMARK day for GAA in the county.

That’s how Cork County Board chairman Jerry O’Sullivan last night described Cork City Council’s decision to vote in favour of the proposal to make available 6.82 acres of land adjacent to Páirc Uí Chaoimh for re-development of the stadium and the construction of a centre of excellence.

After the Council voted by 17-11 to give the green light to the project, O’Sullivan revealed negotiations will now begin in earnest over the financial terms of the agreement and is hopeful that phase one of the development will be completed within two years.
