Govt allocated €30m towards the development of the stadium and never sought naming rights.— Micheál Martin (@MichealMartinTD) January 16, 2024
The Cork TD continues to say the government allocated €30 million euro towards its development and never sought naming rights.
The Cork County Board is to decide this evening if it will accept a deal to sell the naming rights to a supermarket.
Its believed the deal will bring in around €250,000 per year that could be used to pay off debts.
