'I am not a magician. I do not have a blank check where I can get money together and just say yes, whatever it’s going to cost here, here is the money that is available'
There is "no blank cheque" for the redevelopment of Casement Park , the Stormont minister with responsibility for sport has said.
Last week, Secretary of State Hilary Benn said the UK Government could not confirm it will provide funding until it knows the costs and sees revised proposals. Both of those projects proceeded, however, the planned redevelopment of Casement Park was delayed due to a number of factor including legal challenges by local residents.
Mr O’Toole pressed Mr Lyons on “not budging” from the sum promised more than a decade ago, which he described as a “real problem”.
