Stadium plan lacked business study

NO FORMAL business appraisal was carried out by Bord na gCon on a proposed €20 million greyhound stadium on the outskirts of Limerick, after it bought land for €1.39m, confidential documentsreveal.

The project was subsequently abandoned.

A site at Meelick was purchased on behalf of the greyhound board by solicitors Holmes O’Malley Sexton for €1.02m at public auction.
