However, he added that council management have confirmed that architects are currently examining options for a fourth stand at the northern end of the stadium, with a report being brought to the council meeting in October.
Cllr O’Connor said he has stressed to council management in light of the plans, the need for a feasibility study in respect of future usage of the municipal stadium.
“I support the completion of the stadium, and I think that we should have a complete stadium,” Cllr O’Connor said.
“Building the third stand is a significant move and I think finishing off the stadium with a fourth stand is a positive move.
“However, the challenge then will be how to fill the stadium on a regular basis, and examining how those events will impact on the community.”
