The formal lodgement of the Part 8 Planning Application for the Dalymount Park Redevelopment Project has been annoounced by Dublin City Council.

The architect led integrated design team, comprising IDOM & Gilroy McMahon, will shortly commence preparations for the detailed design phase of the project. During this process there will be further ongoing consultation with all the relevant stakeholders including the FAI, Bohemian FC and the wider North Dublin Community.

Dalymount Park is one of the city council’s major capital infrastructure projects which will not only improve the sporting infrastructure of the city but play a major in role in the regeneration and enhancement of the Public Domain in Phibsborough. The current plan is to develop a new four sided municipal stadium (c. 8,034 capacity) featuring:

• Reorientation of the pitch to a North/South Axis (105m x 68m) and installation of a new sand-based grass pitch

• New stands to the east and west side with provision for c. 6,240 seats and two new terraces to the north and south with provision for c. 1,794 standing

• The provision of a public thoroughfare along the eastern boundary connecting North Circular Road and Connaught Street to include various eateries and a new public plaza

• A community facility with an area of 585sq.m over two floors to include a multi-functional community room and a community gym

• The provision of modern match-day facilities for teams and officials

The first phase of enabling works, including the demolition of the Connaught Street Stand, have now been completed.

The current timeline for completion of the redeveloped stadium is the commencement of the 2027 season but this is very much dependent on further funding becoming available for the construction stage from Government (via Stream 2 of LSSIF).
