Adjournment Matters. - Morton Stadium.

 

In addition, I was present in 1999 when the then Minister, Deputy McDaid, came to Santry and announced an indoor athletics facility for Santry that would cost £4.8 million. He told Fingal County Council to go ahead and carry out a feasibility study for the indoor facility and other associated works. The work cost €1.4 million but none of that has been recouped, although the feasibility study was sanctioned and presented to the Department. However, since then, nothing has been agreed with the Department in terms of a payment schedule and whether the council should seek tenders. I ask if the Minister of State is serious about providing this indoor athletics track and if the money will be forthcoming. The council has already spent €1.4 million on a feasibility study and plans for the indoor facility and I ask if this can be recouped from the Department.
