An estimated £200m is needed to bring facilities in Northern Ireland up to the required standard.

Lyons was asked by BBC News NI why, in his first year in office, the Casement redevelopment had not yet been delivered.

He said: “There is a significant funding gap between the money that is on the table right now and the plans that are on the table for the redevelopment of Casement Park.”

On football facilities in Northern Ireland, he said he had been shocked at the “dire” state of some grounds.

“My vision is to improve conditions for players and to provide safe, accessible football grounds for supporters,” he said.

“This will require additional funding in due course, and I will be seeking to sustain the fund with further investment from a range of sources.”
