Punchestown Racecourse has been given the green light for a major expansion estimated to cost €3m.
Last week An Bord Pléanala upheld Kildare County Council s original decision to grant planning permission on the development just before the pandemic in February last year.
Blackhall Racing Company, which is the trading name for Punchestown, will be extending the existing racetrack by approximately 660m.
A new ambulance track over a length of 1,890m is also in the designs.
Extensive landscaping and planting of shrubs will also be included in the plans for an overhaul of the famous racecourse.
