I thank Deputy McDonald for raising the issue. I absolutely assure the Deputy that the Government has been very clear that we want to see a redeveloped Casement Park delivered in time to host the Euro 2028 games. That is why our funding commitment was confirmed in February. As the Deputy will know, the Casement Park redevelopment is owned and managed by the GAA, working with the Northern Ireland Executive. It is for these partners to confirm the overall funding approach to deliver the redeveloped stadium. While it is for UEFA to confirm this point, it is understood that its decision in principle regarding the hosting of Euro 2028 matches at the redeveloped Casement Park in Belfast will be made in the coming weeks. We remain absolutely committed to this being the case and I intend to pursue this matter and work with the Northern Ireland Executive and the British Government.
