The Government have approved the establishment of a national indoor sports centre to be located on a 12-acre site in the Custom House Docks area of Dublin with funding from the national lottery.
There are no plans to provide a national sports complex in the Phoenix Park. Ongoing discussions have been taking place with the Gaelic Athletic Association, the Football Association of Ireland and Irish Rugby Football Union with regard to the development of a national outdoor stadium. Pending the outcome of those discussions I am not in a position to give any details of the proposals for an outdoor stadium.
