I wish to raise the issue of the stadium at Casement Park in Belfast. As the Taoiseach will know, this is a flagship Executive project. Indeed, it is a key and a joint commitment, not just among the parties of the Executive but between Dublin and London as well. The Taoiseach will also be aware that the opportunity to be part of hosting the Euro 2028 was cited as a further incentive to get this project done. I am very concerned that the current British Government, the Tory Government, is walking off the pitch with a bag full of broken promises. I ask the Taoiseach to reiterate today the commitment in respect of funding for this project, the delivery of this project and the expectation here in Dublin that, no matter who is in No. 10 Downing Street, this commitment will be honoured in full, the stalling, the delay, the bad faith and the broken promises will end and that we will see Casement Park constructed in west Belfast.
