Mr Ó hOisín said: "The aim of the consultation is to increase the quality of stadia across the North, improve safety standards at these venues and help integrate clubs with their local communities.

"The consultation over the next 12 weeks will be an opportunity for clubs, supporters and other interested parties to help shape the final document."
