Bob Ryan insists Páirc Uí Chaoimh opening on schedule for July 2
“Sisk, the main contractors, have consistently said the stadium would be handed over to us on June 18 and as of this (yesterday) morning that hasn’t changed,” said stadium steering committee chairman Bob Ryan It’s reckoned that the close to 45,000-capacity stadium is almost 95% completed but Ryan was reluctant to quantify what amount of the project is left to finish.
Should Cork and Kerry win their respective semi-finals this weekend, their decider is in line to be played at the new venue as part of the counties’ home and away agreement. Kerry’s opponents Clare have no such deal with Cork, while in the event Tipperary beat Cork and Kerry also win, Tipperary are due a home game against the Kingdom.
