The TD is this week calling on the new Minister for Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht, Catherine Martin TD; as well as Minister for State for Sport, Dara Calleary, to see the task of building the new stadium through to completion and not to let the investment to date go to waste.Deputy Doherty said he is hopeful that the new Ministers will heed the local campaign: “Following engagement I have had with the previous Minister, Shane Ross, on behalf of the stadium committee; and following the recent disappointment experienced when the stadium was passed up in the last round of funding announced, I am now hoping that Minister Martin and Minister Calleary will recognise the importance of completing this project for the local community in the area, and indeed for supporters of Finn Harps across the county.”Doherty commended the committee for their tireless work to date and said: “I have been told by the Department last week that in view of the fact that the proposed development had received previous grants from the Department, it was agreed that the application should also be subject to the due diligence process and the question of funding could then be further considered. It is our hope that most of the terracing will be installed during phase 1 construction, however all elements of phase 2 will be dependent on what funds the club can raise itself.In addition, the club is actively looking to secure additional lands in close proximity to the new stadium in order that the Finn Harps Academy will have at least two additional pitches in this area as well as a training facility for the first team. The Department wrote to the FAI to confirm that it was satisfied that the multi-criteria analysis was compliant with the Public Spending Code.”An invitation has been issued to the new Ministers inviting them to visit the proposed site.“The new Ministers need to keep up this engagement, to provide the funding needed and to ensure that the new stadium is built.
Work continued at Finn Park today as preparations are well under way for the return of football. There have been several meetings with Department officials and there will now be a robust examination of our submissions, but they have indicated that there will be a final decision before the end of the year. In 2005, the terraces were renovated for health and safety reasons as new concrete surfaces replaced the old viewing slopes. The stadium has one covered stand, which also caters for 500 seated supporters. The Department has been advancing that process in consultation with the FAI. Our ambition is to retain Finn Park as the new HQ for both the Academy and women's soccer in Co. Donegal and to seek further financial support to develop a regional centre of excellence for soccer in the Twin Town's area. Phase 1 includes the main stand, dressing rooms, admin block, pitch and floodlighting, main entrance area, access roads and car parking.The club intends as part of Phase 2 to put terracing around the other sides of the ground with a view to installing seating and erecting covered stands in some of the terraced area at a later date. Finn Park is a rather basic ground, which looks like it hasn't had much money spent on it for a number of years. Our design team has just completed work on the plans and costs for Phase 1 of the new stadium and these have been submitted to the Dept of Transport, Sport and Tourism for consideration.
