May be of interest to you that sucessful lobbying has cancelled Fingal's plans for a soccer stadium at Rogerstown and instead they are proposing a significant Parkland development:

Parklands at Turvey/Rogerstown
Fingal are planning to purchase extra land around Rogerstown and make a wildlife conservation area and park there:

"The proposed development shall include; new entrances, a car park with a 120 car parking spaces, 250 allotments,
3km of walkways, a new bridge adjacent to the railway bridge, woodland and hedgerow planting, hay meadows,
reintroduction of cattle to graze the grasslands and interpretative facilities"

Two documents with the details here:
