Clawback of Public Funds from non-GAA Events at Casement Park
That this Assembly notes the scale of public funding committed to the redevelopment of Casement Park; further notes that the stadium will host major non-GAA commercial events, including international concerts and sporting fixtures generating substantial private revenue; believes that it is unjustifiable for public money to underwrite the scale of funding required for this major commercial venue without provision for the recovery of a proportion of revenues arising from non-GAA use; and calls on the Executive to require, as a condition of any further public funding for Casement Park, that a legally enforceable clawback mechanism be put in place to return an agreed proportion of net revenues from all non-GAA events to the public purse.
