10,000 capacity for Dalymount? Are ya mad? Too big to fill or come close to filling regularly. Too small for FAI cup final or International friendly. It costs about €1.5 million per thousand to build a new ground..... so €15million! that much could build a 6000 seater and almost refurbish Richmond. Drogs and Bray as well. A big ground with a small crowd is a disaster for atmosphere and it costs a lot to maintain a big ground. A good modern 6000 would be plenty. Even at that you might have to close an end or a side on most match days...
