Question 127: To ask the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism his views on the option of making the new stadium in Tallaght open to all football and other codes; and the reason this was not the option chosen. [9849/06]

I welcome the recent decision taken by South Dublin County Council to complete the stadium at Tallaght to the specification originally planned. While facilitating Eircom league football is a priority for the Tallaght stadium, this would not preclude usage of the facilities at Tallaght for other sports whose organisers deem the facility to be suitable. The completed stadium will remain in the control of South Dublin County Council and, therefore, the management and additional usage of the stadium and any ancillary facilities will be a matter for the council to decide.
