Nenagh Ormond edge closer to new pitches development

Nenagh Ormond are due to start the upgrade of their facility in Lisatunny shortly.

A key step in the journey was the granting of planning permission by Tipperary County Council in the last two weeks.

Works include the construction of all-weather playing pitch 120mx75m to replace existing grass training area.

Construction of all-weather surface 50mx40m to replace existing grass junior members training area and construction of footpaths and fencing around all-weather playing

surfaces.

President Louis Manley, on behalf of the Committee and all involved in Nenagh Ormond RFC, thanked everyone who supported this project to date.

He made a special mention to all the local councillors and in particular to Alan Kelly T.D., whose involvement in this exciting project for the club, combined with plans for a Primary Care Centre for the area.

“I was delighted to be in a position to help Nenagh Ormond RFC with this fabulous new development,” Deputy Kelly said.

“It will transform the grounds of the club and will help develop players and teams for generations to come. I particularly want to thank the officers of the club and Mike Darcy of Bluemont Developments for working with me every step of the way.

“This development combined with the sale of Nenagh Ormond RFC’s Tyone site to provide for a state of the art primary care centre means it’s a win win for everyone in Nenagh and surrounds.

“The primary care centre will be a fantastic health facility for the area and its close proximity to Nenagh hospital and the new community nursing home means we will have a fabulous health campus in the town.

“I would like to thank the ESB and the HSE for their help in facilitating this project as well.”

Nenagh Ormond are delighted that the sale of their site in Tyone will bring a top class Primary Care Centre to the people of Nenagh and surrounding communities.
