Irish Times Article from 2000 -
Crusaders' permanent home
Sat, Dec 16, 2000, 00:00
Athletics: Crusaders athletic club yesterday announced that they would no longer be living the nomadic lifestyle with a move to Irishtown Stadium in Ringsend Park finally affording them a permanent home, reports Johnny Watterson.
It will bring the club and track back to the halcyon days of Irish athletics. Club member Ronnie Delany, the 1956 Olympic champion, set an Irish record for the 800 metres in Irishtown stadium in 1952. Irishtown was also the original site for the National Athletics Stadium before Billy Morton declared interest in building at Santry.
The proposed refurbishment of the track was latterly the brainchild of the late Noel Carroll, who was former spokesman for Dublin Corporation, CEO of Dublin Chamber of Commerce and an Olympic athlete. Now with the support of Eoin Ryan TD and Ruairi Quinn TD the redevelopment of the track and ancillary facilities, which includes five-a-side soccer pitches and Irishtown Stadium soccer pitch, is definitely going ahead.
