The members of Bohemians have tonight overwhelmingly voted in favour of a package worth in the region of €65 million for the sale of Dalymount Park.
The club will receive around €45 million for the ground, while they will also be provided with a new 10,000-seater stadium, built to UEFA standards at Harristown, close to Dublin Airport.
The deal, which involves developer Liam Carroll, is a significant improvement on a previous deal with Andorey Development which would have earned the club around €29 million.
Under the terms of that deal, Andorey had 30 days to finalise the contract with the club. That did not happen, which allowed Bohs to talk to other parties.
The doors are expected to close at Dalymount Park in five years' time. The Gypsies will remain in Phibsboro until that time.
The first game played at the venue was on 7 September 1901 when Bohemians entertained their Dublin rivals, Shelbourne.
The move will probably make the job of filling the managerial vacancy at the club somewhat easier.
Brian Kerr has ruled out replacing sacked Gareth Farrelly in the hot-seat, despite strong speculation in recent days linking him with the post.
The former Republic of Ireland manager made his intentions clear when he spoke to Des Cahill on RTÉ Radio's Drivetime Sport this evening.
