Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether, as part of the £50 million committed for Casement Park, the Gaelic Athletic Association has been asked to change any of its rules or aims, such as those relating to flying the Irish National Flag, playing the Irish National Anthem, or strengthening national identity, in order to make it more inclusive of the Northern Ireland community.

No such request has been made. The UK Government has committed £50 million of Capital Financial Transactions funding to redevelop Casement Park. We will continue to work with the Northern Ireland Executive to provide support. However, it is up to the Executive to design and implement the Financial Transaction in developing the stadium in partnership with the GAA
