An image of the proposed GAA centre in Limerick.
Images have emerged of what a €20m state-of-the-art GAA centre could look like in Limerick.
Limerick Gaelic Grounds Ltd sought planning permission from Limerick council for the 95-acre land in Crecora, which was purchased with the assistance of Gerry McManus.
Blueprints shared by Limerick firm Healy Partners showcase what the “flagship centre for the development and celebration of the people, games, culture and heritage" near Adare could look like.
The training hub would consist of six floodlit natural grass pitches, two all-weather floodlit synthetic pitches, one sod replacement pitch, as well as a pavilion dedicated to changing rooms, gym and physiotherapy rooms.
The project would also include a multi-purpose hall, an auditorium, kitchen, dining space and a service courtyard.
Projections provided to planners indicated up to 573 people could use the facilities each day, once completed.
It is understood a decision is to be made on the planning application next month.
The project has also received the support of Limerick County Board, which said in a letter it was prepared to develop the project to “ensure future generations of Gaelic games players can hone their skills to the highest levels representing our great county which we are all very proud of”.
The land was bought with the help of Gerry McManus, who has played a key part in the success of Limerick’s hurling teams.
A similar gesture was made for Tipperary GAA by John Magnier, to extend its centre of excellence in Coolmore Morris Park.
Meanwhile in Cork, Pat Horgan announced in December 2025 they would be ringfencing €1.75m in 2026 for a centre of excellence.
