Just over €918,000 has been allocated to exploratory work surrounding the redevelopment of Dalymount Park.
It's part of nearly €5million euro in grants given to seven major sports projects.
The Dalymount application was made by Dublin City Council, so the funding was not subject to the freeze on FAI-related projects.
The total cost of the Dalymount redevelopment is listed as €34,300,00.
Other projects to receive government funding include the proposed National Watersports Campus in Dun Laoghaire, which has been allocated €441,893.
The proposed campus would include a "mixed use space" for hosting international sailing championships, swimming, triathlon, rowing and canoeing.
While Phase 1 of the Indoor Sports Centre in TU Dublin in Grangegorman, has been awarded €1,747,500. The total cost of that project stands at €45million.
