Last month a Giants game had to be cancelled after a One Direction concert was re-scheduled because band member Liam Payne took ill .The new sites are part of Belfast City Council plans to invest around £105 million in new leisure facilities across the city. It is understood those plans include a few leisure centre to replace the Robinson Centre in East Belfast which closed amid some controversy earlier this year.Sinn Fein councillors Stephen Maginnes and Ciaran Beattie are involved in the process to get the two facilities up and running.
