Question:160 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the position regarding the Abbottstown stadium; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26899/02]
Written Answers. - National Stadium.
Twenty-three companies or consortia responded to my Department's request for expressions of interest in the provision of a national stadium on the site at Abbottstown. An evaluation of the expressions of interest by an inter-agency assessment panel in order to evaluate the potential to proceed with a viable public private venture to procure a national stadium is nearing completion. This evaluation will assist in bringing the matter to the Government for a decision on the project.
