Update: 1 September 2025

Since planning permission was secured in February 2024 the project has been delayed due to uncertainty around funding. The LSSIF Stream 2 grant, which was allocated to the Dalymount Park Redevelopment Project in November 2024, is substantial. However, it still leaves the project with a significant shortfall. The City Council’s Culture, Community, Leisure and Area Services (CCLAS) Department are currently examining options to fund this shortfall including a revised business case. In tandem detailed design has commenced which includes a value engineering exercise. It is expected that the ground will continue to operate for the 2026 League
of Ireland season.

The redevelopment of Dalymount Park was granted Part 8 Planning Permission in February. At this point Dublin City Council were unable to proceed any further until funding was
secured to take the project to the next stage. In November 2024 the project was provisionally allocated €24.6 million from the Large Scale Sports Infrastructure Fund.

Dublin City Council have recently re-engaged the architect-led integrated design team to complete the detailed design and prepare the relevant tender documents.
The overall cost of the project is estimated to be €55 million so there remains a significant shortfall in funding. Dublin City Council are currently examining a number of options in regard to this. Once site works commences, the construction of the new stadium will take approximately 24 months.
