Sinn Féin has slammed the Irish Football Association (IFA) over reports it intends to withhold information in relation to the collapse of a stand at Windsor Park in south Belfast.

Sinn Féin MLA Raymond McCartney said he intends to table an urgent oral question to the DCAL Minister on Monday.

Mr McCartney said: "I find it incomprehensive that an organisation such as the IFA which is in receipt of tens of millions of public funding would think it acceptable to withhold crucial information concerning the almost collapse of a stand which was occupied by football supporters a matter of days before major faults were discovered."

Mr McCartney is urging DCAL Minister, Carál Ní Chuilín, to demand the result of the investigation.
