The Five Demands

Definitivamente accantonato il progetto del Maze Stadium. L’annuncio è stato dato all’Assembly da Gregory Campbell, Ministro della Cultura.
Ha affermato che quei milioni di sterline potranno essere investiti in altri progetti sportivi.
Ora lo aspetteranno al varco le critiche da parte dei vari partiti e della gente comune, per i 3,6 milioni di sterline sprecati fino ad ora nel progetto, e soprattutto per di fatto negato la possibilità all’Irlanda del Nord di poter ospitare alcuni eventi dei Giochi Olimpici del 2012.

Maze stadium proposal officially scrapped (The NewsLetter)
A sports stadium will not be build on the former Maze prison site, it was officially confirmed today.
The Province’s Culture Minister Gregory Campbell told the Assembly he has recommended scrapping the proposal.
He said the millions of pounds earmarked might now be spent on other sports projects.
He now faces criticism from various parties, who are claiming he has effectively wasted the £3.6 million spent so far on the stadium plan.
SDLP MLA for Foyle Pat Ramsey said the plans constituted a waste of public money.
“People will be shocked and alarmed that so much investment was put in place for it not to go ahead,” he said.
“It doesn’t take away from the original concept for a regional stadium encompassing the three major sports to build a shared future.
“It would have enabled Northern Ireland to host some of the events for the 2012 Olympics so that is a crying shame as well.”
