Such a wasted opportunity.
Would have been a fantastic opportunity to improve the moral and atmosphere in Belfast. And show that Northern Ireland was capable of hosting events like this.
I don’t think the Labour government should take any heat for this, should have been sorted ten years ago.
So no Euros… most govts would be pulling out the stops but Stormont fucks up once again.
That’s a real shame.
I’d love to see Euro 28 in Belfast. And I’d love to see Belfast to have a stadium which could host gigs like Oasis or Taylor Swift.
Dublin, Cardiff, Edinburgh, London all do. We should be getting some of that.
Well done everybody.
This Labour government doesn’t need to do anything to keep us sweet, we can’t vote for them so there’s nothing in it for them, ditto the Tories.
Are there any other options for funding or is that it??? Republic is set to get €14bn in tax money from Apple. Surely some of this money can be used for casement!?!
I mean, this really should come as no surprise to anyone.
Thing was delayed to high heavens, price skyrocketed so I sadly saw this coming, real shame we coulda used the tourism from that.
Fucking joke
It’s a shame. It is a logical decision unfortunately giving the surreal rise in costs. Casement park will be built but it was left too late for the Euros and the costs too much.
