In reply to a question from the St Paul’s delegate concerning the redevelopment of Pairc Tailteann chairman Jason Plunkett said they were still waiting on money from the Immigration Investment Programme and that the GAA and the government will not allow the project to commence until the county has a full financial package and can fully fund the stadium. The cost is in the region of €22m and they don’t have that money at present. 

The chairman sounded an optimistic note by saying they hoped to commence work by the end of this year or early 2026. However he hinted that clubs might have to be levied if there is a shortfall.

The scoreboard in Pairc Tailteann which was blown down during Storm Eowyn last January is set to be replaced with a similar structure.

Flynn Construction is the contractor and it is hoped that the new scoreboard will be in operation for games in the club championship.
