No bank loans required for Munster’s new home

Munster GAA have succeeded in building their new, state of the art €3.5m headquarters without acquiring a bank loan.

Completed under budget, the construction of the impressive 12,000 square foot Castletroy structure, officially opened on Saturday by GAA president Liam O’Neill, didn’t interrupt the funding of clubs and counties.

With a grant from Croke Park as well as their own reserve funds contributing significantly to its building, provincial chairman Seán Walsh stressed it was of the utmost importance to him that the offices would not impact on what are essentially the council’s main contributors.
