The Bohemian Foundation was today officially launched by Lord Mayor of Dublin Críona Ní Dhálaigh at a reception in the Mansion House.
In attendance were local TDs Paschal Donohoe (Minster for Sport), Maureen O’Sullivan, Mary-Lou McDonald, Cllr Larry O’Toole, directors and volunteers of the Bohemian Foundation and Bohemian FC, and members of the press.
Bohemian FC urges all members, fans and the wider Bohemian family to make this an election issue with their respective local candidates across the city.
These plans, something the club worked tirelessly on in recent years to bring to fruition, represent a best-case scenario for Dalymount Park.
They represent something that will serve Bohemian FC, football in Ireland, the City of Dublin and our local communities for generations to come.
Dalymount has payed a unique part, chiefly in the sporting, but also in the political, musical and cultural history of this city and country. Let’s see that continued for another 115 years.
Fifteen years ago today, Roddy Collins’ Bohemians completed the most memorable Dublin derby comeback of all time.
It was a turning point in a season which saw Bohs overtake Shelbourne on the final round of fixtures to clinch the club’s first league title in 23 years before beating Longford Town in the FAI Cup final one week later to secure the Double for the first time since 1928.
A 10-minute hat-trick from debutant Kurtis Byrne saved Bohemians’ blushes away to Cabinteely in our first pre-season game of 2016 last night.
The First Division side stunned Bohs and led 3-0 thanks to goals from Michael Brown (penalty), Mark Slater and Darren Clarke.
But former Dundalk man Byrne’s goals on 71, 76 and 81 minutes salvaged a draw for the Gypsies, who welcome Shelbourne to Dalymount Park this Sunday at 2pm.

Bohemians are delighted to announce that ex-Ireland youth international right-back Dylan Hayes has re-signed ahead of the new season.
The former Athlone Town and Derby County man deputised for injured skipper Derek Pender last season, making 11 league starts and one substitute appearance in total.
Bohemians are saddened to learn of the passing of Ambrose Fogarty, aged 82.
The former midfielder began a distinguished football career with Bohs in 1952 and went on to star for Sunderland – where he became close friends with Brian Clough – and Hartlepool in England in the late fifties and early sixties.
“Amby” won 11 caps for Ireland between 1960 and 1964 before returning to the League of Ireland in 1966 to become player/manager of Cork Hibernians.
He subsequently had spells in charge of Cork Celtic, Drumcondra, Bray Wanderers, Athlone Town – where he guided the club to that memorable draw with AC Milan in 1975 – and finally Galway Rovers.
