Walsh Park only Waterford venue in line for an upgrade

Waterford County Board chairman Paddy Joe Ryan has emphasised that Walsh Park in Waterford city is the only venue that will be upgraded as per the wishes of officials in Croke Park.

Ryan, addressing the annual convention of the Waterford County Board last night in Lawlor’s Hotel, Dungarvan, made it clear that “redevelopment of the county grounds is high on the agenda — we, the county board officials, have been in discussions with GAA officials for the past two and a half years about the upgrade and development of Walsh Park.

“They have made it very clear to us that the city venue is the only venue they wish to pursue as regards upgrading and financing, due to its central location and its accessibility.
