New Tyrone training facility to open in 2013

December 14, 2010
Tonight's Tyrone county convention will be informed that the new £6 million Centre of Excellence at Garvaghy is on course to open in 2013.

Project coordinator Liam Nelis will outline the financial structure which will make the state-of-the-art facility for Tyrone's inter-county teams a reality.

"The funding approved by Croke Park has been frontloaded towards the present Contract 2 (EUR1.4 million) with EUR500,000 remaining for Contract 3," he writes in his report.

"So far we have received EUR250,000 from the Strategic Investment Fund and EUR650,000 from National Infrastructure & Safety Committee. We have also been awarded £25,000 from Dungannon & South Tyrone Borough Council.

"We hope for some financial support form the other District Councils to which presentations have been made by Mark Conway."
