Final Páirc bill will be ‘significantly more than envisaged’

GAA director general Tom Ryan has made it clear it will be Cork’s responsibility and not those of other counties to make up the major overrun on the Páirc Uí Chaoimh redevelopment.

Although no final cost has yet been confirmed, Ryan said the €110 million figure mentioned by national stadium and commercial director Peter McKenna in the Irish Examiner last month was “the worst, worse case” scenario but the total bill and debt would be “significantly more than envisaged”.
