Casement Park: Spending Review

Contribution

My Lords, before I answer the substantive Question, noble Lords will have seen on the news this morning the heartbreaking reports of a shooting in Fermanagh. My thoughts and prayers and those of the Government are with everyone touched by this heartbreak. This Government want to support the Northern Ireland Executive with their plans for building world-class infrastructure in Northern Ireland across all sporting codes. That is why we are providing up to £50 million of capital funding to the Executive to support the redevelopment of Casement Park. It is now a matter for the Executive to decide what level of funding they will provide, and to work with other partners to fulfil the long-standing commitment to redevelop Casement Park.
