Antrim GAA chairman Niall Murphy is continuing his battle for the redevelopment of Casement Park after winning his own battle with Covid-19.
Murphy believes it is now an "equality issue" that plans submitted back in 2017 to turn the county ground into a 34,500 stadium get the green light.
Asked if he was optimistic that stadiums plans will move forward in Stormont, Murphy said: "They have to, that's the bottom line.
"It's beyond a sporting issue, it's an equality issue now and that's how many Gaels in the North look at it.
"Windsor Park was wholly redeveloped and rightly so, Ravenhill for Ulster Rugby was wholly redeveloped and is an exceptional facility and we've been let adrift. That's just not going to be tolerated.
"A quality stadium met with appropriate government funding and commensurate government resources is now something that should be considered an equality issue."
Belfast solicitor Murphy is not long out of a sustained fight against Covid-19 that saw him spend 16 days in a coma.
And he can't thank medical staff enough with doctors since telling him that he diced with death.
"I have to say I was in the safest of hands,' he told RTE Sport. "All of the medical attention, which was intense, work and I just can't thank all of the staff who looked after me enough.
"It was a harder time at home. My wife got a call one night to say it was 50-50 if I would make it through, that would have been a hard phone-call to take.
"It really is like a field hospital in a war film. When I came around, I just couldn't fathom the working conditions that these people are working in.
"I've described them the equivalent of fire-fighters who ran into the Twin Towers on 9-11, except we're not providing these people with sufficient protective gear.
"The nurses and doctors are working and physios are basically working in the bin-bag, certainly in the North. I'm led to believe that circumstances are better in the South.
"With all that said, every person that cared for me couldn't have been more attentive, caring, professional and genuine."
