It will accommodate for a full-size indoor GAA pitch modelled on MacHale Park in Castlebar, extensive gym facilities, a 130m indoor running track and movable seating for 600 spectators.
Construction on the €3 million development came to a halt in March because of the Covid-19 pandemic but resumed two months later and is now finally taking shape with the laying of the playing surface in recent weeks.
