at last!! – venue and conference centre much needed – i’m curious to see what it will be like now – i am assuming of course that if there is seats for 4200, there is stnading room for another 4,000. I dont know of many concerts such as those that were held in the Marquee that people would sit down for – cant see people politely clapping along to Slayer in their seats

I still am not sure why a concert venue cant be worked in with a complete revamp of Pairc Ui Chaoimh – i’d rather sink the 8.25 million into that

In todays Irish Examiner it is stated that the adaptable venue will cater for :-

6,000 plus live venue which includes 1,150 seated.

Seated concert venue fro 4,200.

Conference venue for 2,000.

+ suitable for smaller events,banqueting hall for 1,000 and parking for 1,000 spaces.

Of course the City Council will meet 25% of its cost.
