Ulster GAA’s Belfast Rising bags €71m bonanza
The west Belfast venue, which is now set to become the province’s primary venue ahead of St Tiernach’s Park in Clones, was the major winner on a day when Ravenhill rugby grounds and soccer’s Windsor Park received £14.7m (€17,105,470) and £25.2m (€29,323,663) respectively.
The amount of funding was what the Ulster Council officials had asked for. A central plank in their Belfast Rising initiative, the redevelopment of Casement Park into a 40,000-seated stadium is expected to cost over £100m (€116,361,942).
