MPs Back Belfast Stadium
An influential group of MPs today added their voices to the growing chorus calling for any new stadium to be built in Belfast.
The Northern Ireland Affairs Select Committee at Westminster published a lengthy and detailed report into tourism in Northern Ireland today which heralded the sporting, economic and tourism benefits of Belfast as a venue for the new stadium.
121. We believe that development of a National Stadium could provide the much needed exhibition space, as in Cardiff, which is required to attract major conferences to Belfast. Apart from the sporting and economic arguments in favour of locating the National Stadium in the city we believe that there would be considerable tourist advantages from such a decision.
It’s clear that the Maze has been uncovered as something between a sub-optimal use of resources and an expensive political vanity project. It’s time a stop was put to this insane idea.
