Cavan County Council has welcomed the announcement of €19 million for Cavan Regional Sports Campus from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport, and Media under the Large Scale Sports Infrastructure Fund.
In a statement issued to Northern Sound, the local authority say this is a significant step forward for the project, which has been developed in conjunction with Royal School, Cavan and Cavan GAA.
Today's announcement is a welcome endorsement of the ambitious, long-term plan to develop a Regional Sports Hub in Cavan. We would like to acknowledge our partners in this project; a lot of hard work has been undertaken to get to today's funding announcement, a process which started with a feasibility study in 2019.
Delivery of the Cavan Regional Sports Campus will be a multi-phase process, and the funds announced today will contribute to the delivery of phase one of the development. This is a long term project, and we will continue to work with our local councillors and Oireachtas members to secure the required additional funding over the coming years.
