Phase 1 of the National Indoor Arena, which is being developed at the National Sports Campus, is scheduled for completion in December 2016. Phase 1 comprises the development of a National Indoor Athletics Training Centre, a National Indoor Training Centre (which will accommodate numerous sports) and a National Gymnastics Training Centre. The facility is scheduled to be in use from January 2017. My Department is currently engaging with Sport Ireland on the allocation of its budget for 2017.

Similar to many other proposals for capital expenditure' the Estimates process for 2017 did not allocate funding for phase 2 of the National Indoor Arena (NIA). However' Phase 2 of the NIA is a significant and worthy project and will be considered for funding in the context of the Mid Term Review of the Capital Plan as announced in the Budget.
