Vol. 506 No. 3
32 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation when he will receive the report of the working group established to examine the feasibility of a national stadium; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15481/99]
The Government agreed, in October 1998, to the commissioning of a feasibility study for the development of a national stadium and to the establishment of a stadium steering committee to conduct the feasibility study and to make recommendations based on the findings of the study.
Following an open tender process, a consortium led by Pricewaterhouse Coopers was selected by the steering committee to carry out the feasibility study. I understand that the finalised study, and the recommendations of the steering committee established to oversee it, are expected to be available for consideration by the Government by September of this year.
