Dublin wouldn't be anchor tenants of new GAA development centre

The GAA insist Dublin will not be “anchor tenants” at the association’s new €12 million, 25-acre national games development centre in Abbotstown.

Officially opened at the weekend, the likelihood is the Dublin County Board will use the facilities more than any other county as it is located in the west of the capital.

Dublin also plan to use €2m of central funding ring-fenced for them for their scrapped development of a green site in Rathcoole towards rental fees at what could become their de facto centre of excellence.
