1802. Deputy Joan Collins asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport in view of recent reports, that football clubs (details supplied) will be ground sharing a redeveloped Dalymount Park under the management of Dublin City Council in the near future, the type of funding his Department envisaged or ring-fenced for the project; his views on the overall project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25647/16]
View answerThe previous Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport indicated the Government's commitment to support Dublin City Council in the proposed redevelopment of Dalymount Park. I understand that Dublin City Council is currently in discussions with the clubs referred to by the Deputy in order to finalise tenancy arrangements for the facility. While no financial allocation has been made to date, any future application for funding received from Dublin City Council will be fully considered by me. My Department will continue to liaise with Dublin City Council in this regard.
