Goal Of Constructing GAA In Ulster Is Achievable - PAR Team

The DCAL Stadia Programme 'Project Assessment Review' (PAR) Team has concluded that the goal of constructing and operating a strategic regional stadium for the GAA in Ulster is achievable on the Casement Park site in west Belast.

Sports Minister Carál Nί Chuilίn welcomed the conclusion.

The review was headed up by an experienced Review Team Leader from the Cabinet Office’s Major Projects Authority.

The report makes 20 recommendations, most of which relate directly to the Casement Park project.

The Sports Minister said: "I wish to thank the Review Team for their thorough and comprehensive report which will now serve as a route map for the delivery of the remainder of the Executive’s regional stadia commitments and the Casement Park project in particular.

"The Review Team's key finding is that a redeveloped regional stadium on the Casement Park site is achievable. This is very welcome and provides clarity to the overall project.

"It is encouraging that the Review Team has concluded that many aspects of the programme have gone well. They confirm that the Kingspan Stadium has been delivered on time and to budget and that it continues to show every sign of being highly successful."

The Review Team have, however, identified issues to be addressed in relation to the Casement Park project and these will be addressed as we move forward. The report estimates that it will be 12 months or more before a revised planning application could be lodged.
