MUNSTER GAA will tonight launch a new urban development plan for the province, with six urban areas to be designated special project status to maintain numbers and finance development.

The Munster Urban Development Plan aims to respond to the changing demographics of Munster, and the six urban areas will be announced at Friday night's convention when the new Munster GAA Strategic plan will be launched.
