Early 2017 opening for €70m Páirc project

Cork GAA coffers will contribute €20m to the redevelopment of Páirc Uí Chaoimh, board secretary Frank Murphy has revealed.

The Government has already sanctioned a €30m grant to help fund the €70m resurgence project, which will see the creation of a 45,000-seater stadium and a centre of excellence.

In an interview with the Irish Examiner, Frank Murphy confirmed the board would table €20m of the final bill and expressed confidence that “the overall cost of the project will be paid off without the necessity of borrowing or impact on the development and promotion of games at ground level”.
