The Sports Minister, Thomas Byrne TD, has committed €19m to develop phase 1 of the Cavan Regional Sports Complex. When completed, the complex between Kingspan Breffni Park and the the Royal School will include four GAA pitches, synthetic hockey/ multi-sport pitch, cricket practice area/catch nets and all facilities with lighting.
Plans also include a covered sports arena with playing pitch, spectator seating, and other ancillary accommodation. The Sports Centre Building will have changing facilities, multi purpose rooms, reception and ancillary accommodation.
Calling it a "a fabulous project for Cavan", local TD TD Brendan Smith said the project is being provided by Cavan County Council, Cavan GAA and The Royal School.
