MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, November 25, 2024

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor N. Whelan

"Are there any plans to host non sporting events open to the public in Tallaght Stadium in 2025?"

REPLY: 

Stadium Management are looking into options for non-sporting events open to the public at Tallaght Stadium for 2025. They are actively exploring a range of opportunities to diversify the use of the venue and ensure it remains a vibrant hub for community and cultural engagement in South Dublin. In addition to its role as a premier sporting venue, the Stadium is well-positioned to host large-scale events, including concerts and public gatherings. Discussions with event promoters and external contractors are ongoing to bring exciting non-sporting events to the venue. This effort aims to attract a broader audience and provide enriching experiences for the community.

The recently upgraded corporate and meeting facilities further enhance the Stadium’s versatility, making it a prime location for hosting a variety of public and private events. These improvements support our vision of creating a dynamic, multi-purpose space that serves diverse interests.

As part of this expanded use, events like the much-loved Christmas Circus will return this December, and will run until early January, 2025. The Circus will continue to feature prominently, providing entertainment for all ages and it is hoped other family events will follow for 2025. The Council remains committed to developing Tallaght Stadium as a centrepiece for cultural and social activities, benefiting both residents and visitors alike.
