Proceeding contribution from Lord Kilclooney (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill.


Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill

My Lords, I realise that it was a mistake to give way. Finally, I caution people in Northern Ireland not at this late stage to start opposing the stadium, because it is a wonderful proposal. Of course the GAA raises a lot of money in Dublin, but would it not be nice to see it raising money in Northern Ireland instead? The Irish Football Association has welcomed it, and the Irish Rugby Football Union has welcomed it. The proposed site has great access on the motorway for all the people of Northern Ireland, not just Belfast, but from the west, the north and the south. I hope that the opposition will be reduced so that we can get the money and get the stadium built before the Olympic Games.
