Govt gives green light to Campus Ireland

Political parties are this morning digesting last night’s decision by the Government to give the green light for the proposed national sports stadium.

The decision followed the completion of an independent report into the cost of the project in Abbotstown, west Dublin. The High Point Rendell report said the proposed 80,000-seater stadium would cost the Irish taxpayer €1.1bn, €200m more than the Government had estimated.
