First phase looming large for Ireland’s new international cricket stadium

The first sod on Ireland’s international cricket stadium will be turned at the National Sports Campus in March as Cricket Ireland prepare to co-host the ICC T20 World Cup in 2030 alongside England and Scotland. Planning permission has been granted for the 4,000-odd all-seater stadium at Abbotstown, but it’s not expected that there will be any games at the venue until at least 2029. The initial construction phase, including the main oval seating bowl, and essential amenities, is scheduled for completion by March 2028. Read the full story here.
