'Overly ambitious' projections behind 'significant' cost overrun on Páirc Uí Chaoimh

The original financial projections made by the Cork County Board for the redevelopment of Páirc Uí Chaoimh were “overly ambitious”, GAA director general Tom Ryan believes.

In his annual report launched today, Ryan countered Cork chairperson Tracey Kennedy’s claim made at last month’s annual county convention that the cost of redeveloping still stood at around €86 million and stated the costs will be much larger. GAA stadium director Peter McKenna told the Irish Examiner the final bill will €110m.
