Dublin City Council said Transport Infrastructure Ireland will be asked to shoulder the majority of costs
“The study examined potential sites capable of facilitating the expanded facilities and recommended Irishtown Stadium as the ideal location for the development of a modern sports hub facility within the south city,” the council’s senior executive officer Donncha Ó Dúlaing said. “No other sites in public ownership of an appropriate size and the correct zoning were identified in the southeast area.
The new facilities, built over three floors, would include a six-lane 25m pool, a leisure/play pool, gym, squash courts, café, and five roof top all-weather pitches for football, tennis or basketball. There may also be a range of “unconventional sports”, Mr Ó Dúlaing said, such as skateboarding, parkour – a type of obstacle course training – and bouldering, a wall-climbing sport.
A similar pool relocation project in Coolock, with the planned closure of the Northside shopping centre rooftop pool, was last month estimated by the council to cost €10 million.
