Alliance Culture Arts and Leisure Spokesperson Kieran McCarthy MLA has stated that the DUP is in disarray over the Maze stadium issue and said Northern Ireland needs a shared stadium, not a small stadium that only one sport will use.

Kieran McCarthy MLA stated: "The DUP is in total disarray over plans for a multi-sports stadium. The Maze stadium is still the only show in town and the DUP leadership would do well to realise that.

"We need a shared stadium which the GAA, rugby and football can all make their home. What we do not what is a small stadium that only one sport will use. It's high time this Executive had more ambition because that is what Northern Ireland needs in order to move forward."
