New terrace for Hill 16 but cash crisis may delay work

The Irish Independent

Just when the GAA got planning permission for a new-look Hill 16 a cash crisis is set to scupper plans to build the all-standing terrace. Planning for the work in Croke Park was approved yesterday - despite a previous refusal over fears of a Hillsborough-type disaster if fans were left standing on terraces. The permission officially clears the way for the final phase of the new Croke Park redevelopment.
