I welcome what the Minister outlined. I encourage the fast-tracking of this project as much as possible. I also welcome the inclusion of St. Francis Hospice on the grounds. That is worthy and we are all pleased to hear that.

The Minister said that Fingal County Council will be responsible for the further allocation of space. What he outlined is attractive and it appears to cover predominantly sporting activities and leisure facilities. Are there any plans in terms of administrative buildings? Will he indicate if a percentage of the grounds will be available for the development of facilities or services other than strictly sporting ones?
