Plans by Waterford Gaelic Football Association (WLGFA) to develop a €6m sports complex have been thrown into uncertainty after it emerged the local authority may de-zone a nearby residential site on which the development is dependent.

Last year the association became the first ladies Gaelic football body to own its own grounds, when it purchased a €330,000, 16-acre site at Ballinroad, near Dungarvan.
