Bertie’s Bowl….Sports Campus Ireland

Lansdowne is prime development land and probably worth a nice little sum.

I HOPE IT DOES GO THROUGH AS WE NEED A STADIUM OF THAT MAGNITUDE IN THIS COUNTRY, I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF ARGUMENT THAT SPORT IN THIS COUNTRY NEEDS IT, NO DOUBT THAT IS THE CASE BUT WE HAVE BEEN DOING ALRIGHT SO FAR BY USING THE BRITISH SYSTEM BUT THE MONEY GENERATED BY THIS LARGE STADIUM WILL PAY FOR IT…..IMAGINE A CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL, PART OF THE EURO FINAL BID BY SCOTLAND OR EVEN THE OLYMPICS( A FAIR DISTANCE OFF I DO ADD) THE REVENUE GENERATED BY THESE EVENTS IS STAGGERING. IT WILL BY GOOD FOR IRELAND AS A WHOLE THE ONLY PITY IS THAT IT ISN’T SITUATED IN THE CENTRE OF THE ISLAND SO THAT BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH MAY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FACILITIES… IT WILL BASICALLY GENERATE BIG MONEY FOR DUBLIN WITH LITTLE SEEN DOWN THE REST OF THE COUNTRY….I AM NOT COMPLAINING..THAT IS THE WAY IT IS… BUT SOME STADIUMS DOWN THE COUNTRY ( GALWAY IN PARTICULAR ) MIGHT BE A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR URBAN CENTRES AROUND OUR GLORIOUS ISLAND….
