New GAA stadium for Louth very welcome news – Joanna Byrne TD
30 April 2025
Sinn Féin TD for Louth and spokesperson on Sport, Joanna Byrne TD, has welcomed the news that funding has been secured for a new GAA Stadium in Louth.
Teachta Byrne said:
“This good news has been a long time coming. In my first term as a Louth County Councillor almost ten years ago I attended briefings on this project.
“I also voted to transfer land from Louth County Council to the GAA so this project could go ahead, at that time.
“I am beyond happy that a new state of the art stadium will be build for the many Louth GAA fans to go to and enjoy matches.
“With Louth winning a Leinster semi-final over the weekend and now this news, it really is a great week for Louth GAA and supporters.
“The funding has been secured from a variety of sources, including an agreed levy that will be paid for by the local clubs, so everyone involved with Louth GAA can say they’ve contributed to this new stadium.
“On 11th May Louth will play Meath for the Delaney Cup in Croke Park. I am hoping that the Wee County can win its first Leinster Title since 1957. The future looks bright for Louth GAA.”
