Casement Park has been named as a host stadium for Euro 2028 but Donaldson says there will be no money coming from Stormont.
DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has said there will be a “lot of questions” for the UK Government if it funds the construction of the Casement Park stadium in west Belfast while Northern Ireland faces a budget crisis.
But the site is currently derelict and plans by the GAA to redevelop it with a 34,000 capacity have been mired in controversy and hit by delays. Last week, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said the Irish Government would be prepared to foot some of the bill. “We are very clear, the Executive doesn’t have money, the additional money that is required for this stadium.
“We would not support a departure from the principal of equality when it comes to funding sport in Northern Ireland.He added: “There is some talk that the UK Government, because this is a UK-wide programme to deliver the Euros in 2028, that it may put some money on the table.
