Plans for a new sports complex to service Clongriffin and the surrounding areas, have been sent to three architectural firms and construction work will begin when the most suitable design is chosen, according to local Fianna Fáil Senator Martin Brady.

Senator Brady said he was pleased with the progress following Dublin City Council's successful proposal to merge existing and new sports facilities in Fr. Collins Park, serving the residents of Clongriffin, Belmayne, City Junction, Donaghmede and Belcamp lands.

"There has been some confusion regarding the development of this complex. I have been assured that it will be built and I have no doubt that it will be a fantastic facility for the community," he said.

"The new facilities are likely to include a 25 metre pool with a moveable floor, a children's pool and flume, steam and sauna rooms, halls in a variety of sizes suitable for games, fitness or dance classes, rooms to suit general needs, full size and seven-a-side astro turf pitches, a rock climbing wall, a multi use games area and possibly tennis or bowls facilities," the Senator added.
