Taoiseach Enda Kenny will officially open the new National Indoor Arena at the National Sports Campus this morning. It is the latest major infrastructure project to rise from the more than 500 acres near Blanchardstown in West Dublin and makes the Campus a match for any sporting location in Europe.
The arena itself has a full indoor athletics track and will also have the capacity to play host to a wide variety of sports from Gymnastics to Badminton, Basketball to Boxing.
The European U19 Women’s Basketball Championships will be held there in August 2017.

We will carry a full report from the launch later today which will also be attended by Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Shane Ross and Minister of State for Tourism and Sport Patrick O’Donovan.
This will hopefully include an indication of commitment for further capital investment in adding a large indoor pitch facility to the building being opened today.
