In this morning’s Sport for Business Daily Podcast, we mark a landmark day as the Sport Ireland Campus breaks ground on a €100 million national velodrome and a new badminton centre, blending high-performance ambitions with real community access.
Ministers set firm expectations on budgets and delivery while the CEOs of the two sports outline how a home base will transform pathways, participation, and pre‑LA 2028 preparation.
• €100m investment at Sport Ireland Campus
• National velodrome and 12‑court badminton centre
• Ministers set delivery timelines and accountability
• Local access for West Dublin communities prioritised
• Cycling targets structured camps and talent pathways
• Aim for pre‑LA 2028 training camps on-site
• Push for stalled infrastructure projects elsewhere to accelerate
