A huge step forward for Clare camogie

“CLARE camogie is delighted that the project to bring to fruition a county camogie grounds at Doora has taken a huge step forward,” Clare Camogie chairperson, Orla Considine said earlier this week.
“Clare Camogie lodged notice for planning permission in last week’s Clare Champion. This notice looks for planning for dressing rooms, toilet facilities, fencing, rear goal netting, lighting posts, and surface car parking. The plans will shortly be lodged with Clare County Council,” the chairperson outlined.
She went onto point out that Clare County Council agreed to provide a field for Clare camogie back in 1988. “The process was re-ignited two years ago and after many council meetings and meetings between the council and camogie boards, this is the next step.
Clare Camogie, at its June meeting, set up a development committee to deal with issues around the field development, implementation, funding and future development. This committee consists of Michael Maher, Orla Considine, Joe Cooney, Patricia McCarthy, Pat Hayes, Dr Pádraig Quinn, Kevin Kennedy and Eamon Fennessey.
“It is the hope of the camogie board that this planning with be sanctioned in the near future and that the final details can be teased out with the council. This will be hugely important in the development of camogie in the county and it is another small step in the right direction in Clare Camogie’s dream to have its own field,” said chairperson Considine.
