LOUTH GAA HAS been instructed not to proceed with their current plans for a new stadium pending reassessment.
The development was announced by the GAA following meetings on An Coiste Bainistíochta and Ard Chomhairle which took place on Friday night and Saturday respectively.
“It was agreed to instruct Coiste Contae an Lú not to proceed with the current plans for a new Stadium pending a reassessment,” a statement from the GAA reads.
It follows reports of a disagreement between the Wee County and the association over the construction plans. It’s believed that work on the site was set to commence on Monday but the Irish Examiner reports that Croke Park have expressed concerns about the county board’s ability to provide proof of funds for the new grounds.
In October, Louth GAA announced that they were set to receive €14.8million in investment towards the development of the new venue which is planned for Inner Relief Road in Dundalk.
A statement at the time read that they had been “granted approval to seek Irish Immigrant Investor Programme [IIIP] funding through the Department of Justice.”
Louth GAA announced in 2020 that they had been granted planning permission for the development of a state-of-the-art stadium with a capacity of 14,000. The stadium costs were initially expected to run to €12 million but have more than doubled since then, and have also been cut back to €29 million.
The GAA are not certain that Louth can provide the amount needed to complete the project.

Beat anderlect at home and draw away. Any points after that is a bonus , munich and psg are 2 of the top 3 favorites to win it but anything can happen on a cold wet night in a packed celtic park. Spurs havent a hope. Liverpools style of attacking football will suit europe i hope , united will go far so much strength in their squad , chelsea and city should have it handy til the last 16. Real Madrid gor 3 in a row
@ryan o sullivan: Real defo for 3 in a row. Isco is my favourite for the ballon d’or this year too. He’s getting better by the week. PSG are lethal up top but vulnerable at the back. It’ll be interesting to see how the British teams go. One thing is for sure, none of them will win it.
Being honest Liverpool do Europe can see them going furthest of the English sides
@robbie: more likely beaten by a smaller team.
@Mick Power: you furthest in terms of travelling to Moscow?
@Irishoverseas: *mean*
@Ollie Watson: can see them having more nightmares like the Europa final though
@Irishoverseas: huh?
Spoofer pundit.
Souness is a miserable git isn’t he? Not an ounce of positivity.
@Jakim Berndsen: in fairness it’s not like he said i don’t want them to do well,he’s being realistic and he’s right
@Jakim Berndsen: he is Scottish after all ;-)
