Donegal GAA submits fresh planning application for Convoy ‘Training Centre’

THE DONEGAL County Board has lodged their revised planning permission for the Donegal GAA Training Centre at Convoy with Donegal County Council.

The new plans are to incorporate an indoor training facility and a 200-seater spectator stand.

Construction is expected to begin on the facility later this year with County Board officials aiming to have the building work completed by the autumn of 2018.

This latest phase of the development is to cost in the region of €1.5m.

Last March, County Committee approved the persuing of the project, a two-storey building that will hold: 7 team dressing rooms; referee changing rooms; medical room; public toilets; stores; gymnasium; administration area; meeting room; multipurpose hall; and a kitchenette.

“Due to the scale of this element of the overall Training Centre project, as I have indicated to County Committee on numerous occasions, I want to assure delegates that all the remaining key milestones will be agreed and approved by County Committee as part of the robust Governance Plan that we have in place,” County Chairman Sean Dunnion told club delegates at last month’s convention in Donegal town.

The revised planning permission application was submitted this week with a decision expected from the Council next month and there are not expected to be any issues with this part of the project.
