NI Football League chief executive Gerard Lawlor has a renewed confidence that the long-awaited sub regional stadia funding can progress as expected in the near future.
NIFL and Irish FA chiefs met with Deirdre Hargey last week to air their concerns after the project was shelved by the Minister of the Department for Communities.
The Minister initially said the fall of the Executive could further delay the £36m package, but then appeared to step back from that position after a constructive meeting with football representatives.
