Velodrome would be nice addition to the infrastructure.

I hope they manage it properly and aren’t just jumping on the feel-good factor.
The key is grassroots, local clubs, schools, coaches etc… facilities and high performance centers come after.

Shocked to hear the panel say there was only one running track in Cork last night is that true? Seems absolutely fucking mental. Really should be aiming for municipal sports centres across the country and coaching at higher level in the colleges etc. some good intelligent spending would be nice. Velodrome would be good too as someone said.

I’d love some investment in public spaces with free sporting facilities like you see in Spain.

An ice rink would be nice as well.

If they are building a velodrome, it really should include seating for spectators. The velodrome in the olympic park in London has lots of different competitions which are really enjoyable to go to, increases the visibility of the sport and surely brings in a few quid to help pay for more infrastructure etc. Track cycling is a really excellent spectator sport, it think it would be a real shame to hide it away in a high performance centre rather than making it a real attraction. Pick another city other than Dublin and do a good job of it.
