Taxpayer won’t pay for ditched stadium
The new stadium will instead go ahead on a 11-acre site at the old Limerick racecourse for which Bord na gCon has agreed to purchase for €3m. It is expected that racing will commence at the new stadium within three years at an overall cost of about €20m.
Plans for the original site on the Co Clare side of the Shannon near the Two Mile Inn Hotel were scuppered due to planning difficulties.
