Stadium to be built at Abbotstown as dockside plan is ditched

THE National Stadium will be built on the Government’s land at Abbotstown, West Dublin, and not on the dockside at Ringsend, as has been suggested in some circles.

Recent reports suggested Sports Campus Ireland and Government officials were re-considering the merits of Abbotstown as the preferred site for the proposed stadium.

The stadium was to be the main feature of a complex including a 50m swimming pool, gym, velodrome, tennis courts, golf academy, sports medical centre and offices to house national sports federations.
