In February, Dublin City councillors agreed on a €40 million redevelopment of the Phibsborough stadium. Dalymount Park is due for a complete revamp.
The works are to demolish the existing stadium and structures on the site and build a new stadium with 6,240 seats and capacity for another 1,794 people standing.
The pitch will be re-oriented to run north-south and get new sand-based grass, along with new changing rooms, match-day facilities for teams and officials and club offices.
Minister Martin and Minister of State Thomas Byrne are due to announce that the project will receive €24.7 million from her department.
The development also includes plans for a stadium bar/function room, concession areas, a multi-functional community room and community gym. There plans to be 12 car parking spaces and 50 bicycle spaces.
