Sligo & Roscommon football followers wish they where really Mayo fans, discuss.
QuoteRoscommon GAA County Board is to press
ahead with the €690,000 purchase of 53 acres
of land in the Oran area with a view to a possible
€5m development of training facilities for
county teams.
The ambitious plan received the support of
club delegates at a County Board meeting on
Tuesday night and this week GAA chiefs in
the county will begin the process of purchasing
the lands and embarking on the hugely
ambitious project. The site is located at Runnabackan
Td., Oran, Co. Roscommon.
The plan envisages the provision of seven
full-size pitches and the construction of a Co.
Roscommon GAA Centre to include dressing
rooms, indoor gym, meeting rooms and catering
facilities. A 1.5km cross-country training
track is envisaged as well as two large hurling
walls. Initial pre-planning consultation with
Roscommon County Council is now being engaged
in and a planning application is set to
follow in the New Year.
County Board Secretary Mr. Seamus Maher
told the Roscommon People on Wednesday
that now that the clubs have given the plan "the
< green light", phase one will be to proceed with
the purchase of the site. He confi rmed that the
site will cost €690,000 and that the clubs had
decided that a €250,000 development grant
would be earmarked for the project. He added
that it is hoped that a further purchase grant
might be available from Croke Park.
