Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 July 2025

Debate

Casement Park: Spending Review

Contribution

My Lords, I commend the Minister on her remarks at the beginning. As a former representative of the Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituency in the Northern Ireland Assembly, I agree with her about the horrendous incident this morning. We extend our sympathy to all those involved and wish them a speedy recovery. It is a real tragedy. I commend the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey, on her Question, as it presents an opportunity to bring some clarity as to why the GAA finds itself in this position. The fact that this development has not happened is not due to any negligence or reluctance on the part of the Executive or Assembly at Stormont but rather due to strong opposition from the nationalist community who reside in close proximity to the proposed development. Does the Minister agree with me that funding for all sports must be distributed in a fair and equitable manner?
