PÁIRC UÍ CHAOIMH, the home of Cork GAA, is in the midst of a €70 million redevelopment.
Works to upgrade the stadium to a 45,000 capacity are expected to take another 18 months with a projected finish date in time for the 2017 Munster championships.
It emerged in November that the European Union are looking into the €30 million Government grant pledged towards the redevelopment, but the Cork county board expect “a speedy and successful conclusion” to the process.
INPHO photographer James Crombie paid a visit to the site last week where he snapped these pictures of the work in progress:
Great read.
Fair play Curtis, always a great player, a great ambassador and very articulate.
Great article
Great read, didn’t realise how though his childhood was with his mother’s passing so young. Great determination to bring up his siblings and make an impact across the water.
An inspiring story, hopefully he gets a chance to coach in England in the future
Great read. He makes a good point about number of BAME managers versus number of BAME players… The former should be much higher.
Interesting guy,i hope his coaching career brings success.
I remember Curtis when he worked in a newsagents in Talbot street Dublin 1
Very nice guy
Great article and wishing Curtis the best of luck going forward
A great guy and a very enjoyable read. Best of luck Curtis!
Great read.
Great article. Let’s not shy away from our shortcomings as a country, no one should be victim to this sort of abuse. Welcome the diverse next generation of Ireland
A Boro legend
Curtis is a legend. Racism is a cancer destroying society.
Who gives a fuvk if you slate brown white back who cares your Irish x
@BriP75: stupid comment. Evidently some people cared enough about his skin colour to racially abuse the man growing up. That sort of ignorant attitude is the reason why racism still exists in society. Educate yourself…
