Stormont Executive face £33m bill of increased costs for Casement Park – Can they afford it?
The new stadium is yet another commitment in the New Decade New Approach deal - that's the deal our political parties did without costings and without the money to pay for it.
Maybe the deal should be called New Decade, New Dreams.
The GAA have said they have no extra money, so it looks like the entire overspend will fall to the Executive.
Is that a good way to spend £33m, when the Finance Minister is talking about a £600m hole in Stormont's budget?
Stephen spoke with UUP MLA Andy Allen, who sits on the Communities Committee, the commentator Brendan Mulgrew and Slugger O'Toole Editor Mick Fealty.
Also on the programme, Heading in children’s football training given the boot in NI , Professor June Andrew talks to Stephen about research connecting heading the ball to long term brain damage. Plus, Boxing world champion Tyson Fury the controversial early SPOTY favourite, but given his controversial history should he be hailed a sporting hero?
