Sinn Féin MP Paul Maskey has welcomed news from the GAA that work will soon begin at Casement Park to prepare the site.
The West Belfast MP said:
“It’s fantastic news that work to prepare the site will soon begin at Casement Park.
“This is another welcome and positive step to delivering a first-class, state-of-the-art sporting facility for Ulster Gaels, and to host major games in the Euros and big events.
“Casement Park will be a real economic driver for West Belfast, creating jobs and hosting thousands of people visiting the city to attend games.
“It’s important that the Irish and British governments and Executive continue to work with the football associations and the GAA to get this flagship project over the line quickly and on time.”
