Bohemians will go it alone in a new Dalymount Park after Dublin City Council confirmed that Shelbourne want to withdraw from the plan for the two clubs to groundshare at the Phibsboro venue and for Bohs to purchase Tolka Park from the council…
Meanwhile..
…via Dublin City Council
Dublin City Council officials met with Shelbourne Football Club Board members today and a proposal submitted by the club to purchase Tolka Park Football Stadium from the City Council and redevelop it into a multi-sport stadium was discussed.
Dublin City Council has agreed in good faith to examine the proposal in detail and will reconvene meetings with the Board of Shelbourne FC when further detail has been provided, which is expected to be received from Shelbourne FC within the next two weeks. The City Council will then carry out its due diligence on the proposal.
Dublin City Council bought out the legal interests of various parties in both Dalymount and Tolka Park in 2016 as part of its strategic plan to develop a municipal stadium at Dalymount Park to ensure the viability of League of Ireland Football on the northside of Dublin.
Since acquiring both grounds, significant costs have been incurred by the City Council on an annual basis to ensure that both stadiums meet the required League of Ireland stadium certification.
The City Council is willing to examine the proposal. However, it would be based on a cost recovery model for expenditure incurred by the City Council and a firm commitment from Shelbourne FC that Tolka Park can be re-developed in a reasonable period and that adequate finance is in place. We understand that the proposals will have no financial implications for either the City Council or the State.

If anyone (anywhere on Earth) some day finds a surfboard-shaped object on their shoreline, displaying the words “Jungle Beach Break Café”, it could be this one. Keep us posted, and thanks in advance.

Nothing Mini about those waves, what?
Suit yourselves.
Update: Not actually a Mini (see comments).
Not really sure how this one managed to get through planning. If there’s one thing @RCSI_Irl have been good at over the years, it’s damaging Dublin’s built heritage and constructing ugly buildingshttps://t.co/jxVAmppXBH https://t.co/aphHImmeqF

This is the heartwarming moment a dog was rescued from a five-foot sinkhole – after another dog alerted its owner that she was trapped.
Macy (top), an 11-year-old golden retriever, had been stuck inside the hole in Streator, Illinois [USA] for nearly 24 hours after falling in last Friday, February 11.
But she wasn’t found until a chocolate labrador, named Wrigley, located her the next day in Marilla Park and alerted his owner by barking.
G’wan the Wrigley.
Arf.

Do people realize what it means that the government has now told banks that they can seize the assets of people who are involved in blockades and occupations?
They’ve given banks permission to steal money from their customers.
What do you think they’re gonna do?
