The proposed €190m development is planned for a site in Cherrywood, south Dublin, and would mark a major milestone for Irish winter sports.
Provisionally named the Dublin Arena, it will feature two Olympic-sized ice rinks, a 5,000-seat / 8,000-standing capacity for events, and a 1,500-capacity conference space.
It is set to become the home of Irish winter sports, providing the country’s first permanent ice rinks to serve as training facilities for athletes of all levels, from elite competitors to casual participants.
The venue will also host Ireland’s first professional ice hockey franchise, which is being backed by Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council.
The two rinks will allow the establishment of a professional team, while one rink will be publicly available year-round, supporting new amateur clubs, collegiate ice hockey, and a wide range of inclusive, ice-based sports for athletes of all abilities.
Project developers are currently engaging with the Olympic Federation of Ireland, Paralympics Ireland, and Special Olympics Ireland to ensure inclusive access to the facility.
Prime Arena Holdings, the company behind the project, aims to submit a planning application by September.
Designed by DMOD Architects and supported by a team of consultants, the arena is intended to bring “social, economic and cultural benefits” to the area.
According to Prime Arena Holdings, the arena will offer dramatic views of the nearby Wicklow Mountains and host far more than just sporting events.
Plans include concerts, international exhibitions, and corporate functions, aiming to make the arena a vibrant new destination for Dublin.
It is expected that the arena will create approximately 80 full-time jobs and provide part-time employment for over 1,600 people once operational.
In addition, the construction and planning phases are forecast to support around 400 direct jobs, offering a further boost to the local economy.
