Funding of €30m for the redevelopment of Páirc Uí Chaoimh was announced in Budget 2014.
My Department has already paid out €23.087 million in respect of the project. Further payments will be made shortly. In accordance with the standard terms and conditions of the Sports Capital Programme, at least 5% of the overall grant (€1.5m in this case) must be retained until the Department has received the completion certificate from the project technical advisor. This is usually a year after the completion of the construction project.
