Sports
campus development progressing well
The recent move by the FAI into its new headquarters at the National
Sports Campus in Abbotstown marks the beginning of an exciting new development
for the Dublin 15 area.
The project is being overseen by the National Sports Campus Development
Authority which is also based in Dublin 15 – in offices at Westend
on the Snugboro Road.
Speaking to Community Voice, David Conway, Development
Manager with the Authority said “the intention is that this initiative
will provide top quality facilities for sports people and is a reflection
of the Government’s strong commitment to the development of sport
in this country. Sport and participation in sporting activities is a
vital ingredient in the social life of any country. Top class facilities
are essential for success at the highest level.”
As well as providing top class sports facilities for a wide range of
sporting disciplines, the new campus will also consist of office facilities
for a range of different sporting bodies such as the Football Association
of Ireland which has already moved into purpose built offices on the
site.
According to David “the pace of activity on the Campus will accelerate
in 2008 and design and project management teams are in the process of
being appointed. As the new facilities come on stream the Campus will
develop into a centre which will reflect well on the country and on
the local area.”
David is also anxious to highlight one element of the campus that is
already up and running successfully – the National Aquatic Centre.
“This facility has attracted a certain degree of controversy,”
he says, “but the fact is that it is a superb facility, which
matches the highest international standards and is available to the
local community.
I would urge people to come and see it for themselves, they will not
be disappointed.”
