  Mr. O’Donoghue:Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Limited, CSID, having consulted widely with the major governing bodies of sport, stakeholders and interest groups, put forward proposals for the development of a sports campus. I have received the development control plan from CSID and I am currently considering the proposals, and associated costs, and I will present the plan to the Government in due course. The project will commence following approval by Government and there is a projected four-year delivery period for phase one of the development control plan.
