The project will proceed to pre-tender phase, which will see planning and design completed by mid-2025 with the tender phase to follow.
Phase one is scheduled to be completed by 2028 and will deliver a main cricket oval and permanent seating for 4,000 spectators.
The centre will also deliver a permanent home for cricket in Ireland that meets ICC requirements.
And Cricket Ireland chief Warren Deutrom (above) said: “These facilities will help drive the sport forward.
They will significantly assist our highest-performing players.”
Minister Martin added: “I have no doubt that this new facility will deliver a transformational impact on Irish cricket.”
