The GAA has expressed hope that a lower spec redevelopment of Casement Park can be delivered without an excessive drain on the public purse.
GAA president Jarlath Burns said the organisation was still planning for a venue with a capacity in excess of 30,000 but he that the fit-out would be more “modest and basic” than what was envisaged when the stadium was earmarked as a host venue for the Euro 2028 football tournament.
It is understood the GAA has now reverted to the plan it had in place for Casement prior to it being selected as a Euros venue.
Mr Burns led a GAA delegation in a meeting with Stormont’s Communities Minister Gordon Lyons in Belfast to discuss the stalled project on Thursday.
