Green light for €100m Sports Campus

THE Government is expected to approve the revised €100m blueprint for the controversial Sports Campus Ireland at Abbotstown in north-west Dublin later this month.

Sports Minister John O’Donoghue will unveil the development plan to colleagues at an early meeting of Cabinet in January.

The plan, prepared by Campus Stadium Ireland Development (CSID), was presented to Mr O’Donoghue in November after it held intensive discussions with all the main sporting organisations, in addition to the Sports Council and the Olympic Council of Ireland.
