[9] While this scaled-back proposal was reportedly given the "green light" in August 2022,[10] a "revised 5,500-capacity stadium" was still pending funding as of February 2024.

Some of these delays were due to financial reasons, as a decline in property values meant that the new stadium was more dependent on state funding.

[13] At the start of July 2018, the Department of Sport announced a €304,000 grant towards the relaunch, redraw of plans, and fees towards the restart of the stadium build in Stranorlar.

[14] By May 2020, the project (which had reputedly seen "virtually no work carried out" since 2014) had stalled, pending a proposed investment of €6.7 million in state funding.

[8] In May 2022, owing to the rapid increase in the cost of supplies and demand on the construction industry, Finn Harps released further revised plans for a 6,130 capacity ground on the site.

[11] An announcement on the Finn Harps website compared the proposed design with Salford City's ground at Moor Lane.
