Byline: ORLA BANNON

THE Ulster Council will decide on Saturday whether to stage the semi-final clash between Tyrone and Derry at Casement Park Casement Park (Irish: Páirc Mhic Asmaint) is the principal Gaelic Athletic Association stadium in Belfast, Northern Ireland, home to the Antrim football and hurling teams.  (above).

The venue for the second semi between Cavan/Fermanagh and Donegal/Antrim on Saturday June 27 will also be decided on Saturday.
