West Belfast public key in Casement Park build

Ulster Council chiefs have insisted the redevelopment of Casement Park will be within budget and will enhance the local community.

State of the art plans for the new 40,000 all-seater stadium were unveiled to the public for the first time at a launch in the City Hall in Belfast last night.

Despite speculation that the redevelopment of the West Belfast venue was already running over budget, Ulster Council president Aogan Farrell confirmed that Casement will be built within the £76m (€88m) monies already allocated through government funding of £62m (€71.8m) and the GAA Central Council’s £14m (€16.2m).
