Hoops Hail High Court Win
Press Release Issued : 14 Dec 2007
HOOPS HAIL HIGH COURT WIN
Today the High Court ruled in favour of South Dublin County Council and against Thomas Davis GAA club in the Judical Review of the Tallaght community stadium.
This means that work can resume on the site and that Shamrock Rovers can look forward to moving into the stadium some time between the end of the 2008 and the start of the 2009 season.
Says Shamrock Rovers Chairman Jonathan Roche: "Obviously this is the news we were hoping for and it's fantastic for everyone involved at Shamrock Rovers.
"I want to thank everyone who supported us along the way, from the South Dublin County Council to the various politicians and the FAI - and of course our great fans.
"It's been 20 years since we lost Milltown, so we're at the end of a long struggle. It's a great testament to the fans that they remained loyal and they deserve this so much.
"It's just a relief to think that Rovers will finally have a home. We can start dreaming again, and carry on with the rebuilding process that began at the club two years ago."
