THE GAA HAVE green-lighted a brand new stadium for Louth GAA after agreeing to a funding package to commence Phase One of the build at Muirhevnamor in Dundalk.
The new facilities are a significant milestone for Gaelic Games in the Wee County and will be a base for both men and women when finished.
Building is estimated to last around 16 months to get the stadium up to a capacity of 6,000 spectators after Phase One, which will be done by local contractors Ganson Group.
This will include a south seated stand of 4,080 seats, a full-sized playing pitch, modern floodlighting, standing sections behind each goals, car parking and an auxiliary building for essential facilities.
Thereafter, Phase Two will be dependent on further funding.
Séan McClean, Chairperson of Louth GAA, said: “This is a momentous day for all Gaelic Games in County Louth. After years of planning and preparation, we are thrilled to secure the necessary funding to begin construction on this state-of-the-art facility.
We express our sincere gratitude to GAA Headquarters and all our Clubs within Louth GAA for their unwavering support in bringing this project to fruition.”
“This new stadium will not only provide an excellent home for Louth county and club teams but will also serve as a hub for community activities and foster the continued growth of Gaelic Games in the region.”

Congratulations to the bar owner for taking action. A manager’s responsibility is to control the stock and manage the staff. If it turns out that the manager is unable to control staff whom he is blaming for the stock loss, then what else was the owner expected to do?
It’s ridiculous that the bar manager was even allowed to appeal this black and white case.
Good one – Black & White case…..
Correct result, shows how civil court cases are unbalanced though because this lad actually thought he had a case
Well Done to Liam Fahey. He has the right to protect his business from closing. Over €750 at cost each week. The publican would have to generate another €2250 in sales a week just to cover that loss.
With unemployment at an all time low, it is shocking to think that with the theft at that level, the owner could afford to employ another 4 people for 20 hours each per week at €8.65. Bar Owners- watch your bottom line!
Good comment Barry re appealing the case…madness..
Jaysus I would love a pint of stout now.
I know where you can get a free one just tell them Mick sent ya
This is why companies like Cater Control are in business.
have your say
