The development of a new multi-purpose sports facility, by Carrigaline AC and Carrigaline RFC, at Kilnagleary, Carrigaline, has been granted Planning permission by Cork County Council
The development is on a 6.3-hectare green field site. When complete, the facility will consist of a 400m synthetic athletic track, along with three floodlit standard grass playing pitches, and a 707m2 clubhouse the site will have substantial vehicle parking, and an access road
Carrigaline AC Chairperson, Richard O’Brien, said "“This is great news for our Club which will finally us a presence in our community where we can develop and build the club. There’s a lot of work ahead but securing planning permission is a major milestone for us.”
Other Developments
News of the Carrigaline development comes after similar news last year of the granting of Planning Permission for a track in Mallow, and work having already started on Bandon AC's Track, with further developments in Bweeng, while West Muskerry AC continue their plans at Ummera Macroom. With all these developments, and with several other clubs working away quietly on their own facilities, we look forward to major strides in athletics in Cork the next few years.
