McCartney to table 'urgent oral question' on Windsor Park

Foyle MLA is table an “urgent oral question” to the Department of Culture, Leisure at Arts (DCAL) after it emerged findings of an investigation into the cause of structural damage at Windsor Park would not be made public.

The Sinn Fein representative said he found it “incomprehensive” that an organisation such as the Irish Football Association (IFA) was in receipt of tens of millions of public funding would “think it acceptable” to withhold “crucial information” concerning the almost collapse of a stand which was occupied by thousands of football fans at a World Cup game a matter of days before the major faults were discovered.

Mr McCartney: "I intend to table an urgent oral question for DCAL Minister, Carál Ní Chuilín on Monday urging her to demand that the result of the investigation into the cause of the crack necessitating the demolition of the Windsor Park stand be made available in the public interest."
