Sod to be turned on €3m sports campus

THE sod will be turned on a unique €3 million sports project today which will see soccer, rugby and GAA teams playing side-by-side on the same campus within two years.

The Mahon Sports Project is being developed by Cork City Council, in partnership with city sports clubs, on a 42-acre site.

Enterprise Minister Micheál Martin will turn the sod on the facility this afternoon.
