Louth GAA and Croke Park in disagreement over new stadium build

GAA chiefs are concerned about the county's ability to provide proof of funds.

HEADQUARTERS: Initially projected at €12m, the Dundalk stadium costs have more than doubled and have already been scaled back from €29m.

A major disagreement between Croke Park and Louth GAA has developed concerning the county’s new stadium build.

Croke Park have articulated to Louth their concerns about the county board’s ability to provide proof of funds to go ahead with the construction of the venue outside Dundalk. However, Louth’s executive committee have responded that they want to be treated the same as other counties who are building stadia at the moment and intend for work on the site to commence on Monday.
