Property tycoon makes up €8m shortfall to keep GAA project on track

ONE of the biggest GAA club developments in the country — which was part-funded by a local property tycoon — is nearing completion in north Cork.

And the €16 million project on a 35-acre site at Carrigoon, Mallow, won’t have cost Mallow GAA club a cent.

After a land deal and Lotto funding, the club was still €8m short.
