I have visited Mallow GAA grounds, outstanding development sold there old ground and moved a few mlies away. Saw Nemo rangers grounds and buildings on an RTE broadcast (by Marty Morrissey) a few years ago and Nemo's grounds and buildings are excellent. Couldn't put a link to it as I can't find it in RTE archives

The Fr. Manning Gaels club in Drumlish in Lonford have fine new set-up. New state of the art dressing rooms and a new all-weather pitch. Na Fianna in Dublin also nice set-up!

Both Ballymun Kickhams and St. Bridget's in Dublin have impressive facilities, namely the full-size omni-grass pitches.
Bridget's looks savage with the crest in the middle of the pitch

Dromahair in Leitrim. These top class facilities will be showcased on celebrity Bainisteoir this year. This will be the benchmark for all clubs around the country to strive for in years to come.

Beragh in Tyrone have some set up for a junior (I think!) club. Also Slaughtneil in Derry , Ballymun Kickhams in Dublin & Nemo Rangers as well.

I could start up another topic on this regarding the worst facilities. But I have to add to what leitrim lad said. I actually cringe at the thought of dromahair being shown on tv. Easily the worst facilities in the country. Don't know what rte were thinking and then they threw Katherine lynch on top. Bord failte may forget about advertising leitrim again.

Mallow GAA grounds is the tops, Nemo grounds are faily good too but Mallow is still head and shoulders better than it.
Both of these grounds were built by property developers for free just swapping their old grounds.
mallows old gaa grounds has turned derelict with not one days work been done on it since
No wonder the country is in the state it is in!

Mallow GAA complex sets the standard. The facilities are unbelievable, and really worth the journey for any club officials around the country sitting on a big pot of development money
