National stadium receives yet another setback

17:07 Wednesday February 26th 2003

The proposed national sports stadium has received yet another setback. The Minister for Sport, John O'Donoghue, has told the Dail that the 23 expressions of interest to construct a stadium are unacceptable, as they all have too many strings attached. Mr O'Donoghue said he was opposed to private companies getting a hold of state land and then making large profits at the hands of the tax payer. The IRFU and the FAI are to be asked to come up with fresh proposals for a new national stadium.
