Extensive Consultation Process Begins For Casement Park Project
An extensive consultation process has begun for the Casement Park project in west Belfast.
In 2014, planning permission for the stadium had been overturned, however after confirming in May that they were working on new plans for the stadium, Ulster GAA has now started a 20-week consultation.
Tom Daly, Chairman of the Casement Park Project Board, said: "Today marks the beginning of the consultation process and we are looking forward to hearing the views of anyone with an interest in the Project. This will be a facility everyone in West Belfast, County Antrim, Ulster and throughout Ireland will be immensely proud of and a stadium that the next generation of young people can aspire to play in. The start of the community consultation is an important step as we look forward to a new and modern stadium at Casement Park. The wide reaching consultation will last for 20 weeks and we want to accrue feedback throughout this period. These responses will then help inform the design of the new Casement Park Stadium during Stage 1. Once the design has progressed Stage 2 can begin and we will seek more feedback in Late Summer/Autumn 2016."
The consultation will welcome views across all elements of the new Provincial Stadium form the local community, interest groups, the wider GAA and other relevant groups across business, arts, social and sports.
Rory Miskelly, Project Director, said: "Casement Park promises to be another landmark facility in the heart of Belfast and one which we are all looking forward to. The project remains a Programme for Government commitment and a key part of the Regional stadium programme. There is a clear roadmap for the project in place and the consultation forms a key part of this."
