Carriganore project running €3m over budget

A major financial crisis has engulfed the National Hurling and Camogie development centre (NHCDC) in Waterford.

Phase II of the multi-million euro Carriganore project, which commenced in January 2012, has not yet been completed, despite promises that it would be finished within a year.

This newspaper has learned that spiralling costs associated with phase II, which was originally priced at €9.7m, could lead to the project running a whopping €3m over budget.
