Text

First Minister, Casement Park, which would, you said, be built on your watch, has been in limbo for well over a decade. While there seemed to be an improvement in the mood music over the weekend, with your colleague the Communities Minister's attendance in the box at the Athletic Grounds for Armagh's all-Ireland group stage victory over Derry, progress has been scarce. When you raised the subject of Casement Park with the British Prime Minister, what capacity and standard of stadium did you push for? Will the new Casement Park be capable of hosting international sporting events as well as being a home stadium for Antrim Gaels? When will it be built?
