Starmer Leaves Door Open for Casement Park Funding

Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasizes need for alternative propositions for the stadium redevelopment project.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has not ruled out government funding for the redevelopment of Casement Park in Belfast.
He stated the need for an alternative proposition after the original plan for Euro 2028 was scrapped due to rising costs.
Secretary of State Hilary Benn noted that a new design and funding plan are required, following the previous administration's inaction.
Starmer defended the government's handling of the situation, citing the inherited financial constraints and timing issues.
The redevelopment of Casement Park has faced delays due to legal challenges and other factors over the past decade.
