Text

I thank the deputy First Minister for her answer. Yesterday, at the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds in Armagh, players, coaches, management teams, stewards, press and 16,000 fans were immersed in the blood and thunder — the cut and thrust — of the Ulster Championship at a brilliant venue. It was an epic encounter, decided only after extra time, with Armagh beating Tyrone by one point. Deputy First Minister, do you and the First Minister have any sense of regret or shame that you are denying a generation of Antrim Gaels a similar experience through your inability to deliver the Executive flagship project that is Casement Park?
