Drogheda United’s plans for a multimillion ‘euro stadium’ complex have got the go-ahead from councillors in Meath.

The councillors have voted to contravene their county development plan to allow the project to proceed.

The proposal includes provision for a ten thousand seater stadium on the outskirts of the town in addition to retails units, a cinema and a gym.

The club had said its future depended on the plan getting the go-ahead.
