There is “huge enthusiasm” for the delivery of a new major sports facility in County Waterford, a local TD has said.
Sinn Féin TD David Cullinane reiterated calls for a new athletics facility in West Waterford in a post on social media on Friday last.
In the Facebook post, Deputy Cullinane wrote: “Good to meet with athletics clubs in Dungarvan today alongside Conor McGuinness TD to discuss the plans for a new regional athletics facility in West Waterford.
“There is huge enthusiasm for the project and a very clear need for proper athletics facilities in this part of the county.”
He continued by outlining the impact that the new facility would have and highlighted his plans to continue to raise the issue.
“The proposed new track at St Augustine’s College would be a major boost for local clubs, schools, young athletes and the wider community.
“I raised the project directly with the Taoiseach in the Dáil this week and we will continue to work with the clubs to support their plans and help secure the funding needed to move the project forward.”
Deputy Cullinane concluded by thanking the athletics clubs for meeting with him and Deputy McGuinness and for the work they are putting into the project.
