QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the CEO to present an update on plans to provide the fourth Stand at Tallaght Stadium and will he make a statement?"

REPLY:

"Cooneys Architects, were appointed as the Design Architects in October 2019, to work on the detailed design of the proposed new North Stand as well as the remodelled Corporate areas of the Main Stand, at Tallaght Stadium. The developments of both the North Stand and the corporate facilites ,as well as improved press facilities at the Stadium, will help to ensure that the Stadium will be considered as a Category 4 UEFA venue. It is anticipated that the new North Stand will have accommodation for approximately 2,000 spectators, bringing the total seated capacity of the Stadium to over 10,000 spectators.

South Dublin County Council intends to promote Tallaght Stadium as an events venue for the County, that could host music events, festivals as well as Communty events. With the 10,000 seated spectators, as well as on field spectators, the venue could potentially accommodate up to 20,000 spectators for an event.

It is anticipated that this proposed new development at Tallaght Stadium will proceed to Part 8 early in 2020."
