Tallaght Gets Green Light
Press Release Issued : 25 Jan 2008
The Tallaght Community Stadium finally got the go-ahead today when the
High Court rejected Thomas Davis GAA club's application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.
On December 12 last the High Court ruled in favour of South Dublin County Council and against Thomas Davis GAA club in the Judical Review of the stadium.
This morning Judge Murphy ruled that there were no legal grounds to justify an appeal to the Supreme Court and the two-year legal wrangle has come to an end.
This means that work can resume on the site and Shamrock Rovers can look forward to moving into the stadium for the start of the 2009 FAI eircom League season.
Says Shamrock Rovers Chairman Jonathan Roche: "We're delighted that the matter is finally resolved. It's a relief for us all that we can say Rovers are finally going to have a home.
"I want to thank everyone who supported us along the way, from the South Dublin County Council to the various politicians and the FAI - and of course our great fans.
"We'll be seeking a meeting with the SDCC as soon as possible to get the builders back at the stadium and look forward to seeing the hard hats and bulldozers on site."
