My officials have been engaging with Sport Ireland on various elements of the proposed second phase of the National Indoor Arena, including the Cost Benefit Analysis for the second phase.  I will be reverting to Sport Ireland shortly with detailed comments on the Cost Benefit Analysis submitted for Phase 2.  My officials will continue to engage with Sport Ireland on other elements of the project.
