🚶‍♀️ €500,000 Available for GAA Walking Track Upgrades 🚶‍♂️

To mark National Walking Day, the GAA, in partnership with Healthy Ireland, has launched Phase 3 of the Healthy Ireland Walking Track Upgrade Programme, with €500,000 in funding now available to support clubs in upgrading their existing walking tracks.

Since 2022, Healthy Ireland has invested €1.6 million in walking track improvements at 102 GAA clubs across 26 counties, helping to create safer, more accessible environments for people of all ages and abilities to be active in their local communities.

The impact has been significant, with participating clubs reporting: ✅ A 92% increase in walking track usage
✅ A 95% increase in usage among people with mobility issues
✅ Greater engagement with schools, older adults, care homes and community groups
✅ Improved opportunities for physical activity, social connection and inclusion

Funding in previous phases has supported the installation of energy-efficient lighting, enhanced track surfaces, improved accessibility and reduced maintenance costs, creating valuable community facilities that can be enjoyed year-round.

Phase 3 aims to build on this success by helping more clubs provide safe, accessible walking spaces that support health, wellbeing and community participation.

📝 Expression of Interest applications are now open for eligible clubs.

The article this week highlights my opinion that a major park and ride facility is now needed to bring our town forward and be prepared for the massive uplift in what our new university and county stadium is going to bring. Also, our transport infrastructure is being held back by lack of parking at our train station and DKIT.
As a council,
And forward thinking, we need to plan now for the next few years.. inward investment is also being held back so action is needed now.

Fianna Fáil councillor Shane McGuinness said 1500 parking spaces will be needed at the new facility.
