Meath officials have been praised for their ingenuity after securing an initial €400,000 in funding for the redevelopment of Páirc Tailteann through a special government investment programme.

Meath GAA chairman John Kavanagh confirmed that the figure was raised via a 'donation' through the Irish Immigrant Investor Programme, set up by the government in 2012 to encourage foreign investment and to stimulate employment.
