McNulty has engaged with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin, urging him to offer every accommodation to ensure the “transformative and landmark” project in West Belfast can fulfil its full potential.

Newry and Armagh MLA Justin McNulty says, “The redevelopment of Casement Park is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

“The most obvious dividend is in having this stadium match ready for Euro 2028, but beyond that, the potential it has for economic enhancement and reconciliation is unparalleled.

“We all know of the delays and setbacks that the project has faced thus far, but it is incumbent on people like me to find ways through and around those roadblocks to ensure that we do not miss the incredible opportunities for Belfast and the rest of the North.

“That’s why I have made contact with the UEFA President – to seize momentum around the Casement Park Project and ensure that we keep a tight grip on the opportunities it presents.”
