Around €59 Million Committed From British Government To Casement Park

Around €59 million has been allocated from the British Government to the redevelopment of Casement Park.

It means there is still around €100 million of a shortfall for the long-awaited project, following commitments from Stormont, the GAA and the Irish Government.

Last year, the British Government pulled out of funding the project in time for Euro 2028.

Today marks a significant step forward in the redevelopment of Casement Park, as the British government joins the Executive, the Irish government, and the GAA in committing funding.

The GAA says there is more work to do to get the stadium completed and will work on delivering a full funding package.

President Jarlath Burns said, "this is not the final piece of jigsaw and there is much more work to do.

"The GAA will engage directly, with the NI Executive and the Department for Communities to ensure that all parties actively pursue, and secure, a full funding package that will deliver upon the GAA’s strategic stadium need.”

First Minister Michelle O'Neill says today's announcement is a significant step.
