Banteer Community Sportsfield official opening in January

The official opening of the new complex at Banteer Community Sportsfield is planned for Sat 14th Jan 2023 with Minister Heather Humphries attending –more details to follow.

The project is now complete and with an investment of almost €2.2 million, it provides the Banteer and Duhallow areas with a top class facility that will serve many generations going forward. The facility includes state of the art new community building with new changing rooms, toilets, disabled facilities, spectator stand area, museum, digital hub and café facility. With IRD Duhallow as the lead applicant a major grant of €1.3M was approved in Feb 2019 towards the development project from the Government’s Rural Regeneration and Development fund, Project Ireland 2040 under the Department of Community and Rural Development. A Sports capital grant was also approved along with Leader grants for the inclusion of a renewable energy system, carpark and digital hub in the new building with a grant also from Cork County Council.

The demand for the astro pitch facility is such that the facility has been in use 7 days a week with for example 18-20 games/week being played there in recent weeks. The inclusion of a digital hub at the facility adds another much-needed service to the area allowing people to work from their home area.
