Fianna Fail has made changes to plans to develop a sports campus in Co Wicklow.
The amendments to the proposals include the campus in North Wicklow increasing to 22 acres in size.
The council has also agreed to move the development of the campus to phase one of the development. Previously, the campus had been proposed for phases two and three.
TD for Wicklow and Cllr Pat Vance said: "With massive demand from sports and active space in North Wicklow, this is a massive boost. It is also very positive to see that the proposed development of the campus has been moved to phase 1. With clubs such as Ardmore Rovers FC, Enniskerry FC, Bray Hockey Club and Enniskerry Boxing Club and others growing at such speed, this brings forward the use of the facility considerably.
"As amendments have been made to the plan, another period of consultation will begin. It is vital that all clubs and community groups who need this facility inform Wicklow County Council of their support for the plans. I would encourage anyone who is a member of a club, or who believes there is a need for these facilities to contact the council to show their support.
"I would like to thank the members of Wicklow County Council who supported my proposals. The increase in the size of the campus from 20 hectares to 22 hectares is a considerable boost for all the clubs in the county who are struggling to find a suitable home."
