Dublin City Council to purchase and redevelop Dalymount Park

“Shelbourne are most welcome” declared Bohemian’s Life vice-president Tony O’Connell at yesterday’s announcement that Dublin City Council are to purchase Dalymount Park.

The future of the former home ground of the Irish senior national team is now secure, Bohemians having agreed to sell the stadium to Dublin City Council for €3.8m, having previously seen a Celtic Tiger deal fall through.

Bohemian’s president Matt Devaney confirmed that the club is now on solid footing and the deeds of Dalymount Park would be handed over to Dublin City Council in a couple of weeks’ time after some small items were completed.
