Casement Park redevelopment costs expected to have "increased exponentially" warns Ulster GAA chief

Ulster GAA CEO Brian McAvoy says delays in delivering a new state-of-the-art GAA stadium at Casement Park will result in the budget required to complete the project greatly exceeding the current funding available.

Writing in his annual report, McAvoy stressed that the GAA are continuing to work with the Department for Communities in order to ensure that funding is in place to allow work to start on the project in 2023.

The association remains optimistic that the new 34,500-capacity stadium could be fit to host games as early as 2025. Casement has also been included as one of 14 stadiums in the bid dossier to host Euro 2028.
