A plan to develop a home for Donegal GAA first came to the floor in 2006 and it will cost in the region of €7.8 million fully when completed.

It is expected that the recent funding will ensure that the 5th pitch is completing, complete with state of the art LED floodlighting.

It is expected that the 5th pitch will be ready for the autumn of 2023 and will complete the pitches phase of the development.
