Cork GAA’s settling of a payment dispute with an electrical contractor has contributed to a €2.5million increase in the final cost for the redevelopment of Páirc Uí Chaoimh, shoving the final stadium bill to €99.5m.

The 2022 Cork GAA accounts show an additional cost of €2,499,194 for Páirc Uí Chaoimh in the financial year up to September 30. This figure primarily relates to a settlement with One Complete Solution Ltd. OCS, a global facilities management company, were commissioned to carry out electrical works during the stadium rebuild in the middle of the last decade.
