McKenna accused of causing ‘unforgivable reputational damage’

Croke Park stadium director Peter McKenna has been accused of causing “unforgivable reputational damage” to high-ranking Cork GAA officials after Páirc Uí Chaoimh board member Michael O’Flynn last night said there was “no basis” to the €110m figure put out by McKenna in relation to the cost of redeveloping the stadium.

Addressing delegates at last night’s Cork county board meeting, O’Flynn, who along with Tom Gray put the estimated cost of the stadium redevelopment at €95.8m following a thorough examination of the relevant audited accounts, said there was no justification to the €110m figure which McKenna gave in an interview with this paper in December of last year.
