Croke Park Deal Good For Dublin
Archive
17/1/2006 Print Friendly Version

Welcoming today's agreement on hosting international soccer and rugby games in Croke Park during 2007, the Dublin Chamber of Commerce said that the decision will support jobs in Dublin.

The Dublin economy stood to lose over €90 million during 2006-2008 if Ireland's soccer and rugby "home" international were switched to overseas stadia, according to Dublin Chamber research.

Gina Quin, Chief Executive, Dublin Chamber of Commerce, said, "We wholeheartedly welcome the agreement signed between the GAA, the IRFU and the FAI for staging international matches in 2007. Economic impact studies have shown that the three soccer and two rugby events, which will take place in 2007, will each contribute up to €30 million to the Dublin economy. This amonts to 350 full time jobs per game."
