View answerFollowing the Government decision in January 2004 to endorse the provision of a sports campus at Abbotstown over a period of years, I requested the board of Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Limited, CSID, to identify what might be developed within the campus. Together with my Department, CSID has been working with the various sporting bodies in preparing a development control plan for sports facilities at Abbotstown. I expect to receive the proposals shortly for phase one of the project. These proposals will be the basis for a Government decision on the direction of further development on the sports campus.
