Sports minister convinced national stadium needed

SPORTS Minister John O’Donoghue, said last night he remains absolutely convinced of the need for a national stadium in Ireland.

Mr O’Donoghue was speaking after he accepted a provisional report yesterday from the IRFU and the FAI outlining their preferred choice for the location of a stadium.

The minister said the two bodies had made a compelling case for a new stadium. He revealed he would now be bringing their proposals to Cabinet for a decision.
