One of the signature projects to which funding has been committed, which sportspeople are really thankful for, is the redevelopment of Dalymount Park, the home of Irish football. Could the Minister of State indicate the status of that project? In recent weeks there has been a lot of controversy because the Dublin City Council manager, Owen Keegan, moved with a draft development plan for the city that included zoning for Tolka Park, which is a key component in terms of the financing of this project. The latter angered many councillors, given that it was a material change within their powers. Is the redevelopment of Dalymount Park contingent on the sale of Tolka Park, a move to which there is huge opposition? Can we see development in Dalymount Park commencing in the next two years?
