Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 May 2013
81. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide specific details of the total amount of money spent to date on development of the National Sports Campus; the way the funds were spent; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22852/13]
View answerThe National Sports Campus Development Authority (NSCDA), which is funded by my Department, was established in 2006 as the statutory body with responsibility for the development of the National Sports Campus at Abbotstown, Blanchardstown.
The total capital funding allocated by my Department between 2000 and 2012 for the development of the National Sports Campus is €96.2m, including capital funding to Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Ltd (CSID), the body which preceded the NSCDA. The capital allocation for this year is €7.965m.
I have referred the Deputy's question to the Authority for direct reply in relation to details of the total amount spent on the development to date and the way the funds were spent. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a reply has not been received within ten days.
