Carlisle Grounds
The Carlisle Grounds is a football stadium in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland, situated directly behind the Bray D.A.R.T. station. It is home to Bray Wanderers A.F.C. Its current capacity is roughly 8,000 with 3,185 seats.
A new stand seating 985 was constructed in 2006 bring the seating capacity of the ground up to about 2,000. The League of Ireland side Transport F.C. played at the Carlisle Grounds from 1948-1951 before moving to Harold's Cross Stadium. In July 2009 a section of the wall around the pitch collapsed after Monaghan United fans rushed down to the wall to celebrate a goal. The following year another section of the wall fell as a result of fans rushing forward, this time while hosting their league promotion playoff against Monaghan United, prompting an FAI investigation. The Carlisle Grounds hosted a 2011 UEFA Regions' Cup match.
The Carlisle Grounds were used in the filming of the Bloody Sunday scene in the movie Michael Collins.
In October 2009, details were released of a planned large scale redevelopment of the ground. This would involve a new stadium being built on the site as well as a major retailer moving in. A scale model of the redevelopment was displayed on the clubs website around this time.

Dalymount Park
Dalymount Park (Irish: Páirc Cnocán Uí Dhálaigh) is an Irish football stadium situated in Phibsborough on Dublin's Northside.
It is the home of Bohemian F.C., who have played there since the early 20th century. Affectionately known as 'Dalyer' by fans, it was also historically the "home of Irish football", holding many Irish internationals and FAI Cup finals. It has also hosted UEFA Champions League qualifiers, UEFA Cup and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup matches. However, the ground was largely undeveloped between the 1940s and the 2000s, and has now fallen out of use as a major venue, except for the home games of Bohemians.
The stadium has also been used as a home ground by other League of Ireland teams. In December 2010, Sporting Fingal announced that they were to play their home games at Dalymount during the 2011 Airtricity League season; however, the club folded less than two months later.
Bohemians have redeveloped the ground to some extent. In 1999 the old main stand was replaced by a modern structure with 2,742 seats, known as the "Jodi Stand". This was at a cost of £1.1 million. This new structure replaced the 90-year-old wooden stand, and is known as the Jodi Stand and at the time was meant to be phase one of the redevelopment of Dalymount Park. Half of the terrace on the opposite side was knocked down, the remainder had seats installed on the terracing and now holds 3,720 but since 2011 is closed due to health and safety concerns. The old "Shed End", now called "The Des Kelly Carpets Stand" has similarly had seats added and now has a capacity of 1,485. The terrace behind the opposite goal (or "Tramway End") has been sold and is therefore closed. The modern capacity of Dalymount that is in use is 3,193. Bohs' average crowd is about 2,000. There is no designated stand for away fans with traveling support accommodated in different stands depending on the numbers expected. The Bohemians fans meanwhile, gather at the western end of the main stand.

Dublin
Dublin ( /ˈdʌblɨn/; locally /ˈdʊbᵊlən/; Irish: Baile Átha Cliath, meaning "town of the hurdled ford", pronounced [blʲaˈklʲiə] or Áth Cliath, [aː klʲiə], occasionally Duibhlinn) is the capital and most populous city of Ireland. The English name for the city is derived from the Irish name Dubhlinn, meaning "black pool". Dublin is situated near the midpoint of Ireland's east coast, at the mouth of the River Liffey and the centre of the Dublin Region.
Originally founded as a Viking settlement, it evolved into the Kingdom of Dublin and became the island's principal city following the Norman invasion. The city expanded rapidly from the 17th century; it was briefly the second largest city in the British Empire and the fifth largest in Europe. Dublin entered a period of stagnation following the Act of Union of 1800, but it remained the economic centre for most of the island. Following the partition of Ireland in 1922, the new parliament, the Oireachtas, was located in Leinster House. Dublin became the capital of the Irish Free State and later the Republic of Ireland.

Flancare Park
Flancare Park is a soccer stadium in Longford, Ireland. It is the home stadium of League of Ireland side Longford Town F.C..[1] Flancare Park has also held numerous international underage matches. The stadium underwent a huge redevelopment at the end of 2000/2001 season. Previous to this Flancare Park, while containing a good pitch and floodlights, had small dressing rooms, showers and toilet facilities, along with two terraced (one uncovered) and a single-seater stand. It is located in the townland of Mullolagher on the Strokestown Road (N5) to the west of Longford town.
The promotion of Longford Town to the Premier Division was seen as a catalyst in the redevelopment of Flancare to its present-day form. Through the receipt of government and FAI grant aid, Flancare park has been redeveloped into an all-seater stadium. The stadium holds 6,850.

Georgia (country)
Georgia ⁱ/ˈdʒɔrdʒə/ (Georgian: საქართველო Sakartvelo, IPA: [sɑkʰɑrtʰvɛlɔ] ( listen)) is a sovereign state in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. Located at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, it is bounded to the west by the Black Sea, to the north by Russia, to the south by Turkey and Armenia, and to the southeast by Azerbaijan. The capital of Georgia is Tbilisi. Georgia covers a territory of 69,700 km² and its population is almost 4.7 million. Georgia is a unitary, semi-presidential republic, with the government elected through a representative democracy.
During the classical era independent kingdoms became established in what is now Georgia. The kingdoms of Colchis and Iberia adopted Christianity in the early 4th century. A unified Georgia reached the peak of its political and economic strength during the reign of King David IV and Queen Tamar in the 11th–12th centuries. At the beginning of the 19th century, Georgia was annexed by the Russian Empire. After a brief period of independence following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Georgia was occupied by Soviet Russia in 1921, becoming the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic and part of the Soviet Union. After independence in 1991, post-communist Georgia suffered from civil unrest and economic crisis for most of the 1990s. This lasted until the Rose Revolution of 2003, after which the new government introduced democratic and economic reforms.

Glenmalure Park, often simply known as "Milltown", was a football stadium on the Southside of Dublin city in Ireland. Located in the suburb of Milltown, it was home to Shamrock Rovers from 1926 to 1987, when it was sold to property developers by the club's directors. It is now a housing estate called Glenmalure Square.
Shamrock Rovers moved from the inner city area of Ringsend in the early 20th century to the then semi-rural suburb of Milltown. In Milltown, Rovers secured a long term lease of land from the Jesuit Order, who were based in the area. The club's ground there was largely built by their supporters, who constructed the main stand and banked the areas on the other three sides. It was officially opened on Sunday the 19th of September 1926, with a friendly game against Belfast Celtic in front of a crowd of 18,000. Bob Fullam had the honour of scoring Rovers first ever goal at the ground.

Hunky Dorys Park (formerly United Park) is a football stadium in Drogheda, Ireland. The ground has been home to League of Ireland side Drogheda United since 1979. The ground has a capacity of 2,000 with 400 seats. During the summer of 2010, renovations took place to bring the venue up to licensing standards, Changes include the addition of 1500 seats to the gaa side of the ground, new toilet facilities and a new covered section dedicated to wheelchair users. The nearest rail link is Drogheda railway station, while Dublin Airport is roughly 20 miles away.
Hunky Dorys Park is the home of Drogheda United following a major sponsorship deal in 2010 with Ireland's leading crinkle-cut crisp brand, Hunky Dorys. It was otherwise known as United Park or Drogheda Park by some of the supporters. The ground was also known briefly as O2 Park during 2002 and 2003 as part of a sponsorship deal with the telecommunications company O2. The stadium used to hold 5,400 though the safe capacity is now set at 2000 by the Louth County Fire Officer.

Lansdowne Road
Lansdowne Road (Irish: Bóthar Lansdúin, IPA: [ˈbˠoːhəɾˠ ˈl̪ˠan̪ˠsˠd̪ˠuːn̪ˠ]) was a stadium in Dublin owned by the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) that has been the location of a number of sports stadiums. It was used primarily for rugby union and for association football matches as well as some music concerts. The stadium was demolished in 2007 to make way for the construction of the Aviva Stadium, which opened in 2010.
Lansdowne Road took its name from the adjacent street.
The stadium was situated in the neighbourhood of Ballsbridge in the city's Dublin 4 area. The stadium had convenient public transport links as the Lansdowne Road station of the Dublin Area Rapid Transit rail system is adjacent to the site and passed directly underneath the West Stand.
The stadium was named after the nearby road, which in turn was named after William Petty-FitzMaurice, 1st Marquess of Lansdowne. The Marquis was also the Earl of Shelburne, and nearby Shelbourne Road is also named after him.
The stadium had a total capacity of 49,250, with 25,000 seats. However, competitive international football matches could not use the entire capacity because the stands at both ends of the ground (North and South) were standing-only terraces. FIFA and UEFA both mandate that international matches be played in all-seated venues. A temporary capacity of 36,000 was the result for competitive soccer. The International Rugby Board does not impose this restriction on international rugby venues. For non-competitive international football matches (friendly matches), the FIFA/UEFA all-seated mandate does not apply.

Morton Stadium
Morton Stadium, or the National Athletics Stadium, is an athletics stadium in Santry, in the north of Dublin City. Often called Santry Stadium, it is the centre for athletics events in Ireland, and home track of Clonliffe Harriers. It was home to Sporting Fingal FC. The modern capacity of the ground is 4,000 [1] with a single 800 seat, covered stand.
The stadium was opened in 1958 with a cinder track. An inaugural series of meetings was held, and on 6 August 1958, Australian Herb Elliott shattered the world record for the mile run with a time of 3 minutes 54.5 seconds. This was the first race in which five athletes had run a four minute mile.
In 1978 the stadium was resurfaced with a tartan track, the first such in the Republic of Ireland. In the early 1990s it was renamed after Billy Morton, the late administrator who had initiated the original track and who brought famous athletes to compete in the stadium. It hosted the athletics events of the Special Olympics World Games in 2003.
The stadium consists of a small covered stand with 800 seats and three sides of open terracing, bringing the total capacity up to 4,000. The stand encompasses dressing rooms and other facilities; there are also separate clubhouses for the associated clubs. The stadium complex also has indoor athletics training facilities.

Oriel Park
Oriel Park is a multi-purpose stadium in Dundalk, County Louth, Republic of Ireland. It is used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Dundalk F.C. Its current capacity is about 4,500 with 3,000 seats.[1] The ground was opened in 1919.
In February 2005 Dundalk F.C. announced a major programme for a complete revamp of Oriel Park. The pitch was converted to an all-weather surface (the first Irish club to do so) costing 1.5 million euro.
In December 2006 Dundalk applied for planning permission to Dundalk Town Council for a Youth Development/Coaching Centre. The general facilities are to include an underground car parking, gymnasium, disabled training facilities, dressing rooms,. games rooms, media control centre, multipurpose hall and associated services at Oriel Park. This is believed to have cost the club in the region of €5 million. Further plans are being made to upgrade the main stand, changing areas and bar facilities.
In early 2007 the roof of the stand needed to be repaired due to storm damage. Other work completed before the start of the season included new dressing rooms and a temporary covered terrace. Recent redevelopments at Oriel Park include the sale of land for housing development and European safety regulations have reduced the capacity of the ground from 12,200 to 6,000.

RDS Arena
RDS Arena is a multi-purpose sports stadium, owned by the Royal Dublin Society and located in the Dublin suburb of Ballsbridge, Ireland.
The arena was originally developed to host equestrian events, including the annual Dublin Horse Show, which was first held there in 1868. The site was acquired in 1879 by the RDS. The primary tenants of the RDS are Leinster Rugby who compete in the Celtic League and Heineken Cup. The Arena has also hosted football, tennis and wrestling events as well as concerts. The arena has a capacity of 18,500, 16,500 of which is seated.
The North and South stands at the ground are removed for equestrian events, with only the Grandstand and Angelsea Stand permanent. The Grandstand was rebuild in 2006 for the 2006-07 rugby season, to replace the old wooden stand when Leinster first became permanent tenants. A roof was added for the 2008-09 season. There are plans to replace the Angelsea Stand with another new permanent stand, which would incorporate the only terraced area of the stadium.

Republic of Ireland
Ireland (/ˈaɪərlənd/ or /ˈɑrlənd/; Irish: Éire, pronounced [ˈeːɾʲə] ( listen)) is a sovereign state in Europe occupying about five-sixths of the island of Ireland. Its capital is Dublin. The population of the state was 4.59 million in 2011. It is a constitutional republic governed as a parliamentary democracy, with an elected president serving as head of state. In the 1937 constitution, the name of the state is given as simply "Ireland". The Constitution of Ireland (Article 4) and the Republic of Ireland Act 1948 provides that the "Republic of Ireland" (Irish: Poblacht na hÉireann) is "the description of the state".
Ireland is a member of the European Union, the Council of Europe, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the World Trade Organisation and the United Nations. A developed country with the seventh highest Human Development Index, Ireland is also highly ranked for press freedom, economic freedom and democracy and political freedom.
The modern Irish state was established in 1922 as the Irish Free State, a dominion within the British Empire, following the Anglo-Irish Treaty which brought an end to the Irish War of Independence. The partition of Ireland had already been provided for in previous British legislation in 1921 in response to opposition to Irish Home Rule or independence by Unionists, who formed a majority in the north-eastern part of the country. Six of the nine counties in the northern province of Ulster were established under that legislation as Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, with which the Irish state shares its only land border. The state is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the Celtic Sea to the south, St George's Channel to the south east, and the Irish Sea to the east.

Terryland Park
Terryland Park is a multi-purpose stadium in Galway, Ireland, owned by the Galway & District Football League. It is currently used for association football matches and has been the home ground of Galway United since 1977.
The stadium has hosted 5 Ireland under 21 games. and other international underage games. It hosts approximately 80 games over the course of each year, with between 25 to 30 of these fixtures affiliated to Galway United. The majority of the remaining games are junior soccer fixtures. For the 2012 League of Ireland season, SD Galway will be playing their games in Terryland Park.
In both the 2007 and 2008 seasons, Terryland Park was voted as the best surface in the League of Ireland.
Terryland Park underwent redevelopment in 1993 and as a result Galway United played in Galway Sportsgrounds and Galwegians's Crowley Park for one season.
The stadium was to undergo further redevelopment in 2007 after a €500,000 grant was received from the Irish Government in 2006. The money went towards development works, chief of which was the building of a new 1,500-seater stand. The new stand in Terryland Park was opened in July 2007 and raised Terryland Park's seated capacity to 3,300 and overall capacity 5,000 [3]. Work continues and it is planned that the new stand will include a shop unit, turnstiles, medical examination and first-aid rooms, toilets, showers, dressing-rooms, a match delegates' room, officials' dressing-room, a new media and reception room, a canteen with facilities for press conference, and TV and radio facilities.

UCD Bowl
The UCD Bowl is a rugby union and football stadium in the Southeast of Dublin. It is the home ground of University College Dublin RFC in the AIB All Ireland League and University College Dublin A.F.C. in League of Ireland Premier Division. It has also hosted training sessions for the Ireland rugby team and various touring international teams including the All Blacks.
With its redevelopment complete, it now has capacity for 3,000 people, including 1,500 seats. It is located to the North of the Belfield campus beside the National hockey stadium, near the Sports Centre. There is a single stand on the Southern side of the stadium with uncovered standing room at each end. 860 seats in the stand are covered.
A substantial programme of improvements to the Bowl was started in 2007 after a decision was made to move the UCD football team from their home in Belfield Park as the Bowl would not meet the requirements of UEFA licencing for the League of Ireland. The redevelopment was confirmed in 2006 after a €1.25 million Sports Capital grant was allocated to the work and objections to planning were overruled. The seated capacity increased from 860 to 1,500 and a hard surface laid to allow standing capacity around the pitch. Floodlights, improved fencing around the stadium and facilities for shops, toilets and turnstiles were also added. The work was finished in late 2007 in time for the 2008 League of Ireland season. Planning permission has been applied for to replace the current roof with a cantilever structure which will cover all 1,500 seats. Eventually, the stadium is planned to have a capacity of 4,500 seats although there is no time scale laid out for this yet. UCD's record attendance at the venue was 1,986 for the visit of Shamrock Rovers in October 2010.

Showgrounds
The Showgrounds (also known as the Showgies) is stadium in Sligo, which has been home of Sligo Rovers F.C. since the club was formed in 1928.
The Showgrounds was leased until 1968 when it was then purchased for Sligo Rovers by a trust foundation representing the people of Sligo. Under the terms of the purchase it can never be mortgaged, sold or used for any commercial purposes other than sport and leisure. The Showgrounds is a 12 acre (49,000 m²) site with the stadium capacity around 5,500 with 2,700 seats. In November 2001 the new main stand was opened to the public for the League Cup fixture with St. Patrick's Athletic. The stand accommodates 1,853 seats, although there is available capacity for further seating. It has been built in cantilever style to ensure there is no obstructed view.
The Showgrounds was revamped in winter 2006 with the demolition of the ground's most famous "Shed". This was followed by the demolition of the ground's old famous turnstiles. New state of the art turnstiles were build along with front offices. In March 2009 work was finished on a new club shop which is open on match nights. This is situated on the Tracey Avenue Stand side. In May 2009 the Showgrounds had some major upgrading work done to enable the club compete in 2009-10 UEFA Europa League. This work included the building of a new fully tarred car park, along with upgrading work to both all seater stands. An extra 200 seats were added to the Red Stand and also new seating was put into the jinks side of the ground. This work has brought the seating capacity of the ground up to 2,700 which was required for competing in Europa League.

Stadium information [link]

Tallaght's main stand under construction

The main stand seats 3,048^{[citation needed]} and holds home supporters, away supporters, club officials and press. A second stand seating 2,899^{[citation needed]} on the opposite (east) side of the ground, was completed in August 2009. This stand holds the stadium's TV gantry and has brought the seating capacity to 6,000.^[2]^[3] Both stands are covered. A south stand was constructed over a short period in early September 2011. Refreshment stalls are located at the southern end as is a stadium control room.

Temporary seating has twice been constructed at the stadium—once for a club friendly against Real Madrid which gave the ground a temporary capacity of 10,900^[5] and again before the 2009 FAI Cup Final, giving the ground a temporary capacity of 8,800.^{[citation needed]}

Megastore and Rovers Café [link]

Located behind the main stand is the Shamrock Rovers Megastore. Though previously run by kit supplier, Umbro, it is now fully operated by the Rovers. The Megastore was expanded in March 2011 to include the Rovers Café. Within the Café is a large collection of memorabilia and trophies from the Club's foundation in 1901 to the present day that have been donated to the Shamrock Rovers Heritage Trust and have been placed on public display.^[6]

Glenmalure Suite [link]

The Glenmalure Suite in Tallaght Stadium is an exclusive bar area open to club members only on match days. Club members can visit the Glenmalure Suite 60 minutes before kick off, at half time, and after the game for 30 minutes. Occasional post match Q&A with the manager and players are held in the suite.^[7]

History [link]

Planning disagreements [link]

The following chronology is taken from the Judgement from the High Court on the Judicial Review.^[8]

On 10 February 1997 South Dublin County Council passed a resolution to lease land comprising approximately 12.18 acres (49,300 m²) at Whitestown Way for the construction of a Stadium for Shamrock Rovers F.C. On 14 January 1998 planning permission was granted^[9] and on 24 March 2000 the lease was granted to Mulden International Limited. On 20 October 2000 Mulden International Limited transferred their lease to Slonepark Company Limited to build the stadium and work commenced in October 2000. Work ceased at the site in November 2001 with the pitch and drainage laid, the main stand almost complete and other buildings in various states of completion.

Following a prolonged period where no work was carried out at the stadium and a refusal by the Planning Authority in December 2004 to extend the lease the Council terminated the lease on 4 January 2004.

An examiner was appointed to Shamrock Rovers F.C. on 11 April 2005 and the council engaged in discussions with the examiner regarding the completion of the stadium and its use by Shamrock Rovers Football Club when completed. Following the examinership process a supporters group, the '400 Club' took control of Shamrock Rovers and run the club today as the Shamrock Rovers Members Club.

A public consultation process began on 18 July 2005 to complete the soccer stadium at Sean Walsh Memorial Park. Thomas Davis CLG participated fully in the public consultation process. A county Managers report was presented to the Council on 12 December 2005 which provided for the increase of playing area to accommodate senior Gaelic games and other uses subject to allocation of funds from the Department of Arts, Sports and Tourism. The council then informed the Department of the resolution and request clarification regarding funding from the Department.

File:TallaghtStadiumplan.jpg

Plan of the first phase of the Stadium on display at the site. Note the proximity of the East (right) stand to the adjoining school. Extending the pitch dimensions would have resulted in reduction of capacity in this stand.

A reply was received from the Department on 24 January 2006 stating that the Minister could not agree to make funding available for the modified development.

The recent Council decision to adopt the manager's report subject to increasing the size of the playing pitch and extending the stands seriously undermines the basis of the previously agreed approach. A larger pitch cannot easily be accommodated within the present site given the buildings already in place and would mean that a future stand at the far side of the existing uncompleted stand would be about half the size as originally envisaged, thus limiting the future capacity to about 4,500. Given that the ends of the partially completed west stand are curved means that any proposal to extend along the length is likely to involve significantly increased costs. ... In response to the request from South Dublin County Council that funding be provided towards the new development as envisaged by the resolution recently passed by your Council, I wish to confirm that the Minister cannot agree to make the funding available on the basis of the new proposed development.

—Letter from Dept. Arts, Sport & Tourism, 24 January 2006

Acting on the Ministers response the Council voted in favour of proceeding with the original plans on 13 February 2006.

Thomas Davis GAA club instituted judicial review proceedings in the High Court in May 2006. Their main argument was that the decision of the council on 13 February 2006 to revert to the original plans for the stadium, which did not include a senior GAA pitch, was unlawful.^[10] Their submission on the technical point was accompanied by cultural arguments that 'the youth of Tallaght will be restricted to a diet of Association football' and that a soccer-only ground would place the 'applicant at a severe disadvantage in attracting the youth of Tallaght to the club, the sport and the GAA culture^[11]'. However the stadium, with the original design, could accommodate junior GAA games as the pitch used at this level fits within the stadium's dimensions. It was only senior GAA games that would not have been facilitated.^[12]

The disagreement had several low points that were played out in the media. Some Shamrock Rovers fans unveiled a banner at a league game showing their contempt for Thomas Davis's actions in taking the matter to court. And contrary to the GAA policy of being apolitical Thomas Davis GAA club made it known that the Minister of State Conor Lenihan TD, the local Dáil representative, was no longer welcome at the club because of his support for Minister John O'Donoghue's stance and called for the clubs members to make the stadium a General Election issue.^[13]

The judicial review began on 20 April 2007 and concluded on 14 December 2007. In the High Court decision Mr. Justice Roderick Murphy found in favour of South Dublin Co. Council and Shamrock Rovers.^[14] He found that Thomas Davis had no financial or proprietary interest in the development site having had no agreement with SDCC for its use and noted the extensive facilities they had already been given by the council. And so Thomas Davis was not prejudiced by the decision being made in February rather than late January. The resolution to change the stadium was conditional on additional funding from the Department in the absence of this funding the resolution could not stand or, more properly, could not be implemented. The court concluded that "it would be wrong of the respondent to commit itself to unbudgeted expenditure or to delay the implementation of its resolution of 13 February 2005. The court, accordingly, refuses the relief sought by Thomas Davis."

An application by Thomas Davis for leave to appeal this decision to the Supreme court was refused by Judge Murphy on 25 January 2008. Building commenced on the stadium on 6 May 2008, six and a half years after work had first stopped.^[15]

Opening and development [link]

The first game in the new stadium was held on 13 March 2009.^[16] Rovers made a winning start to life in Tallaght as they saw off the challenge of Sligo Rovers 2-1 in front of a sell-out crowd of 3,000. Gary Twigg had the honour of being the first man to score at the new stadium.^[17]

The stadium was officially opened on Saturday June 27.^[18]

On 20 July 2009, Shamrock Rovers played Real Madrid at Tallaght Stadium as part of a "festival of football" which also included games against Newcastle United F.C. and Hibernian F.C.. Temporary seating was installed taking capacity up to 10,900.^[5] Real Madrid won the game by one goal to nil with a late goal. The match was notable for the debut appearance of Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid.^[19]

Tallaght Stadium during the 2009 FAI Cup Final

The second (east) stand was opened for a game against Dundalk FC on August 22, which attracted over 4,500 fans. The stadium was sold out the following week, albeit with capacity restrictions (meaning a crowd of about 5,400) for a derby with St Patricks Athletic. Its first full house with the new capacity came against Bohemian FC on October 2, 2009, when tickets, 6,000 of which were issued, were sold out a week in advance.

The Republic of Ireland under-21 national football team played Georgia on the 9th of October in Tallaght stadium, drawing 1-1.^[20] The 2009 FAI Cup Final was held at the stadium.^[21] Sporting Fingal were winners over Sligo Rovers before 8,105 people. The stadium hosted its first rugby international game when a crowd of over 4,000 saw the Ireland A national rugby union team defeat their Argentinian counterparts^[22] in November 2009.

The first European game in the stadium was held in July 2010 when Rovers drew with Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv F.C. in the Europa League.^[23]

Tallaght Stadium won the 2010 Airtricity League Pitch of the Year award.^[24]

East stand at Tallaght Stadium

The stadium hosted its first UEFA Champions League game in July 2011 and hosted Rovers' games in the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League group stage.

Current layout [link]

Main stand [link]

Capacity: 3,048^{[citation needed]} The main stand runs the length of the west side of the pitch and was the first stand to open in the stadium. One corner of the main stand is used to house away supporters. The main stand also houses the dressing rooms. The club's superstore is situated behind the stand.

East stand [link]

Main stand at Tallaght Stadium

Capacity: 2,899^{[citation needed]} The east stand runs the length of the east side of the pitch and is the most recent stand to open in the stadium. The ultras within the club's support base currently congregate in the east stand. In July 2010 a control room was constructed at the car park end of the east stand.

South stand [link]

Capacity: 2,566^{[citation needed]} In order to comply with UEFA criteria for participating in the group stages of the Europa League a south stand was constructed over a short period in early September 2011. Although constructed with temporary style construction techniques & materials the new stand was passed fit by UEFA inspectors as fulfilling the criteria for permanent seating. The inclusion of the new south stand brought the stadium capacity above the minimum of 8,500 seats needed to be classified as a Category 4 Stadium as laid out in the UEFA Stadium Infrastructure Regulations.^[25] The new capacity of the stadium stood at 6,000^[2]^[3]

After the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League group stage the seats were removed.^{[citation needed]}

Football [link]

Tallaght Stadium became the new home of Shamrock Rovers in March 2009 after over 20 years without a permanent home stadium, their last game at Glenmalure Park on 12 April 1987 in an FAI Cup semi-final against Sligo Rovers. Rovers finished 2nd in their first season at Tallaght and also hosted Real Madrid, Newcastle United and Hibernian in friendly matches. The 2009 FAI Cup Final was also played in Tallaght, Sporting Fingal defeating Sligo Rovers 2-1.

The Setanta Sports Cup Final has been held twice at Tallaght Stadium, in 2010 and 2011. In the most recent final, on 14 May 2011, Shamrock Rovers defeated Dundalk 2-0.^[26]

The only American football game held in Tallaght Stadium was the 2010 Shamrock Bowl, the final of the Irish American Football League on August 7, 2010. Dublin Rebels defeated the University of Limerick Vikings 15-0.^[29] The final was expected to be played in Tallaght again in 2011, should a Dublin based team reach the final however Morton Stadium was selected over Tallaght Stadium to host the 2011 Final.

Concerts [link]

It was announced that Aslan would play in Tallaght Stadium on June 30 to celebrate 30 years as a band. This will be the first concert to take place at the stadium.
