“Participation in Gaelic Games is growing right across County Down, with more young people, families, and volunteers getting involved than ever before.

“Our clubs are doing incredible work in our communities, but many are coming under pressure as that growth creates real demand for facilities.

“That’s why I’ve tabled a motion calling for a review of Council owned facilities, to help meet the growth of Gaelic Games across Newry, Mourne, and Down.

“This is about making better use of Council owned assets and identifying opportunities to provide additional training and playing space where it is needed most.

“Our GAA clubs are at the heart of our communities, and Sinn Féin will continue to champion the investment needed to help them grow and thrive.”
