MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, March 09, 2026

QUESTION NO. 23

QUESTION: Councillor A. Smyth

To ask the Chief Executive if SDCC is planning to introduce screens at Tallaght Stadium following the trial in April last year, and if so, could they also be used to promote upcoming SDCC events to help increase attendance across the county?

REPLY:

The Council is supportive of the provision of a large spectator screen at Tallaght Stadium and the potential for such infrastructure to add to the visitor experience associated with stadium events. In this regard, the addition of a large spectator screen is currently being explored as part of an ongoing capital development programme for Tallaght Stadium.

The provision of a large screen will be subject to a feasibility assessment, including understanding the technical requirements relating to broadcast rights to support replays of live action being shown to spectators, as well as the prioritisation of broader capital development works to enhance the stadium’s offering and to ensure the continued high performance of Tallaght Stadium.

The utilisation of any screens to advertise SDCC events would be subject to event management agreements and advertising arrangements at each individual event, with input from the relevant event promoter as part of any agreements put in place.
