Proposals for the Sport Ireland Campus Masterplan have been unveiled by Taoiseach Micheál Martin. Plans have since been submitted for the construction of a National Velodrome and Badminton Arena in Dublin 15. This will be the first of several developments that will make up the overall campus.
The Sport Ireland Campus Masterplan will involve the construction of athlete accommodation, workplaces, cultural buildings, and major new sports facilities. These multiple developments will together establish a campus that can be an international centre for sporting excellence.
The submission of plans to build the National Velodrome and Badminton Arena marks the beginning of the Sport Ireland Campus development. The development will be 19.6 metres at its tallest point and will include two sporting areas: Ireland’s first indoor velodrome track (250m) and 12 badminton courts. These will be accompanied by the relevant changing rooms, medical and emergency rooms, areas for offices, and a further section dedicated to strength and conditioning.
Around 1,000 permanent spectator seats will be constructed with scope for a further 2,500 temporary seats for non-cycling and badminton sporting events.
Outside, there will be a plaza area that will surround the scheme and include the “cycling walk of fame”. The site will also allow for a potential future cyclo-cross course to the North and a BMX track to the East, should the facility expand.
Car, bicycle, and coach parking will be available on-site.
Minister Jack Chambers has stated that the construction of the Velodrome is expected to commence in Quarter 3 of 2023 at an estimated cost of €60 million. Funding for the overall masterplan will be delivered on an annual basis through sports capital and budgetary funding.

Dublin-based developer, O’Flynn Group have submitted plans to Kildare County Council for the construction of a €9.2m residential development in Caragh, Co. Kildare.
The work involved on the Blue Mall includes both internal and external alterations. Amendments will be made to the permitted extension which includes the removal of the roof structure and alterations to the façade. These changes will subsequently provide an external Mall plaza area for visitors to enjoy. Changes to the external mall seating and the landscaping as well as the provision of canopies will provide the mall with a visible and more appealing external upgrade.
The approved scheme will see the demolition of the existing Brickfield House building on Brickfield Drive. The 282 apartments will be contained within four blocks that will range from four to ten storeys in height.
