Spectacular drone video shows just how much the National Sports Campus has come along
THE NATIONAL CAMPUS in Abbottstown recently became the new home of Ireland’s senior international football team, who left Gannon Park in Malahide back in August to train next to the FAI’s headquarters.
There is a lot more to it than that, however.
Back in 2012, the government announced plans to spend €19 million developing a National Sports Campus on the site of the ‘Bertie Bowl’, with four of the major sporting bodies — the FAI, the GAA, the IRFU and he Irish Hockey Association (IHA) — all on board.
