Duffy allays Páirc Uí Chaoimh project fears

GAA director general Páraic Duffy has allayed fears the Páirc Uí Chaoimh redevelopment project could be in difficulty.

Although demolition work is well underway at the site, there has been no update on the €30 million Government funding towards the stadium after claims in April that it had been withheld, pending the Cork County Board completing cost-effectiveness analysis report on the initiative.

It has since been reported that county secretary Frank Murphy was surprised when he was asked by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for additional financial information on the €70m stadium reconstruction.
