Following the UK government's decision not to fund the redevelopment of Belfast's Casement Park in time for Euro 2028, Irish officials are advocating for Cork's Páirc Uí Chaoimh as an alternative venue. Tánaiste Micheál Martin and Minister of State for Sport Thomas Byrne have both endorsed the idea, with Byrne emphasizing the importance of keeping as many games as possible on the island. GAA President Jarlath Burns and Cork councillor Úna McCarthy also expressed strong support for the proposal, highlighting the stadium's capacity and recent renovations. Significant alterations would be necessary for the stadium to meet UEFA standards, but the GAA is prepared to invest financially. The Irish government has pledged €50 million for the redevelopment of Casement Park, but its completion remains uncertain. Ultimately, the final decision rests with UEFA.
