Hopes for a world-class grehound facility in Limerick, Ireland took a step forward this week when the Irish Greyhound Board and Limerick Race Company Plc signed documents for the acquisition and development of the Old Greenpark Racecourse in the city.
The IGB believe that Limerick City Council will give planning permission for their stadium next week. The €18m stadium, 16-acre development, will feature viewing and dining areas and is expected to be state-of-the-art.

The Limerick Leader reported on what CEO of the IGB, Adrian Neilan had to say:
“Limerick has waited long enough for this and it’s great to have this track in the same city as our head offices. Site filling in Greenpark will begin straight away and the construction of the stadium will be put out for tender in the next two or three weeks. We would look to be having our first customers coming through the turnstiles by the first quarter of 2010,”
