€4.6million for Hyde Park Community Sports Centre

Cuala GAA is delighted to have been informed that the Hyde Park Community Sports Centre Project has been granted €4.6m towards the construction cost through the Government’s Large Scale Sports Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF). In addition to club fundraising to date and funds committed by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council the project budget is now fully funded.  

Completion of this project will help to address the sports infrastructure deficit in the area and provide enhanced indoor sports and social facilities for Cuala members and project partners Dalkey United and St. John of God’s Adult Services. 

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our members, our neighbours, donors, the project Ambassadors and subcommittee for its hard work, local council representatives, Ossian Smyth TD (Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform and at the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications), Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD (Minister for European Affairs & Defence), Cormac Devlin TD, Richard Boyd Barrett TD,  and the wider community for their vital support.  

We would also like to thank the partners in the project for their collaboration and positive approach; Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, Dalkey United, and St. John of God Adult Services (Dublin South East). We would specifically like to express our gratitude to the officials and management team in DLR Co. Co.  

We also wish to thank officials in the Dept. of Sports, the Minister of State for Sport, Thomas Byrne T.D., the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin T.D., and the government for providing vital funds for the upgrading of critical sports facilities across the country, including this project.
