Spending £3m on consultants and not building stadium is scandal

Following news that over £3million was spent on consultancy in relation to the Maze stadium plan, Lagan Valley Alliance MLA Trevor Lunn has said that not proceeding with the project was a massive and costly missed opportunity.

Trevor Lunn MLA said: “This is a massive missed opportunity. To spend over £3 million on consultants and not proceed with the Maze stadium project is scandalous.

“For that level of money and that amount of specialist advice, which aspect of that advice caused the Minister to abandon the project? I believe none at all. This project was viable and the reasons for termination have more to do with DUP inability to accept a conflict transformation centre than any cost consideration or other potential problem.”
