Carillion To Expand LFC's Main Stand
Carillion has been chosen as the preferred bidder to carry out an expansion on Liverpool Football Club's (LFC) Main Stand.
Subject to planning permission work is expected to begin later this year.
Construction costs are to cost around £75 million.
The proposals would see the capacity of a new Main Stand rise by approximately 8,300, taking the overall capacity of Anfield to around 54,000.
Carillion Chief Executive, Richard Howson, said: "I believe that being selected for this prestigious project reflects Carillion's reputation for high standards of quality, Health and Safety and sustainability. We look forward to working closely with Liverpool Football Club to create new world-class facilities at its famous Anfield Stadium."
Trinity Relax Entry Requirements For Students From NI
Trinity College Dublin has said that it plans to make it easier for students from Northern Ireland to attend the institution.
The college hopes to increase its intake of students from the North "three-fold", bringing the total to 8% of the student body, as it seeks to "re-assert its historic mission as a university for the whole island".
The numbers are being increased by changing the entry requirements from 4 A-Levels to three.
"I am delighted to see Trinity finding innovative ways to attract students from Northern Ireland to study here at third level,” Minister for Education Ruairí Quinn said.
Adding: "I know that the university sector as a whole continues to work collectively towards enhancing opportunities for Northern Irish students to enter Irish university programmes. I very much welcome this collaborative approach."
