Plans for a €460 million cultural, sporting and leisure development proposed for North Tipperary have been unveiled today.

The Tipperary Venue, which is to be located on an 800 acre site close to the Tipperary village of Two-Mile-Borris, is the brainchild of Dublin-based businessman Richard Quirke. He is best known as the creative force behind Dr. Quirkey’s Good Time Emporium.

It is expected that 1,000 people will be employed annually over the three years of construction with a further 2,000 full time jobs on the site to be created thereafter.

The Tipperary Venue aims to become an international meeting place for leaders in the fields of sport, leisure and entertainment.

The Tipperary Venue will comprise of a number of elements including a state-of-the-art racecourse which will include a National Hunt Track, a Sprint Track and an All Weather Flood Lit Track.

This is combined with a Greyhound track featuring a Dual stadium with a comfortable capacity for 7,000 patrons.

A Casino will also be incorporated in a 500-room five-star Hotel.

The casino is said to offer internationally recognised gaming, and also be readily controlled.

In addition, a 15,000-seater underground entertainment venue will feature in the Tipperary Venue development.

“The scale and ambition of this planned complex stands unrivalled anywhere in Europe”, according to a statement from the promoter.

Speaking at the launch of the project, Independent TD for Tipperary North, Michael Lowry said: “This pioneering development is the most ambitious project undertaken in recent times. This is an extraordinary exceptional project.”

He added “It is an exciting unique concept with enormous potential. After a year that has seen the loss of almost 16,000 jobs in the mid-west region alone, this development is a vital lifeline to the economy of North Tipperary”.

Probably on the books of NAMA, the sites worth nothing now, they get planning for this and the sites worth more, so taxpayer pay more for it.
The plans a white elephant.

Just what we need during the recession, hundreds of people gambling their dole money away.

Great idea.

galwayrush · 27-10-2009, 22:00

I don't see it happening, esp the concert venue, that alone will upset the powers that already own medium / large venues here already.
