I wish to inform the Deputy, in the period since 25 April 2006, no submission has been received from South Dublin County Council in relation to the project costs and required funding. My Department is informed by South Dublin County Council that it is engaged in work associated with the judicial review proceedings initiated by a local GAA club which were listed for initial hearing in the High Court on 8 May 2006. I am advised that the matter was adjourned for another four weeks at which time it is likely that a date will be set for a hearing later in the year. I would like to underline my continued support for this project and commitment to ensure the completion of the soccer stadium at Tallaght.
