Offaly county board will find out in the coming days if they can proceed with the development of new training facilities in Kilcormac.

The board has applied to Offaly County Council for permission to construct four new playing pitches complete with floodlighting, pitch drainage and a perimeter walking/running track. Permission is also being sought to construct a new amenity building with dressing-rooms, showers, toilets, gym/weights room and meeting/dining room.

A decision on the application, which was lodged with the planning authority on February 18, is expected on Tuesday.

Following recent reports that Offaly GAA has sought a bailout from Croke Park to service debts on O'Connor Park, it remains to be seen if the board will be able to fund such an ambitious project in the event of it receiving the green light.
