Progress has been made on the redevelopment of Casement Park after the Safety Technical Group (STG) backed fan safety procedures.

Sinn Féin MP Paul Maskey said: "The development of Casement Park is a hugely important project which will bring a positive dividend to the people in the area providing opportunities for residents and businesses in terms of investment and job creation opportunities for West Belfast.

"The project was agreed by the Executive and was an Executive priority project within the Programme for Government. Now the STG has backed the spectator safety procedures there can be no more delays in the Casement Park stadium project.

"As MP for West Belfast I have consistently worked with all key stakeholders to ensure a successful resolution to the Casement Park project and will continue to do so. 

"I look forward to the final part of the stadium jigsaw being completed with the realisation of a new and modern fit-for-purpose Casement Park in the heart of West Belfast."
