Amharc ar fhreagraOn Tuesday, the Government approved a new Masterplan for the development of the Sport Ireland Campus. The Masterplan, which will be published later today, provides a framework for the further development of the campus over the next 15 to 20 years and identifies the next key high-level projects for development.
The first high-level project for delivery under the new masterplan is likely to be the National Velodrome and Badminton Centre.
A planning application for the project was lodged with Fingal County Council by Sport Ireland in August and a decision is expected in the coming weeks.
My Department will be engaging with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in relation to funding to progress the key high level projects identified in the Campus Masterplan, with a specific near term focus on the National Velodrome and Badminton Centre.
