Future of club under threat from road route

ONE of the country's oldest GAA clubs faces serious safety and long-term viability concerns if a planned dual carriageway cuts through its grounds and does not allow it room to expand and grow, a safety expert has warned.

The 107 kilometre Waterford to Kilcullen dual carriageway could force Tinryland GAA club on the outskirts of Carlow town to relocate its clubhouse and car park.

The club is over 116 years old and has won a club of the year award and recently hosted the World Handball Championships.
