Cork County
Council Approves New Sports Complex for Midleton
by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
On any given Saturday,
Coleman Quirke said, the fields at Clonmult Memori- al Park are packed. “We are bursting at the
seams and have been for a long time” said Mr Quirk, PRO of Midleton GAA. “So packed, in fact, that
the club is struggling to meet the demand for new members”. It is estimated that one
in twelve people in Mid- leton (current population 12,000) call Clonmult Me- morial Park their home and, with the population of Midleton predicted to
hit 20,000 over the next five years, it is expected that de- mand for space at the Club will grow. The
Central Statistics
office predict that by 2045 Ireland’s population will grow to 6 million and Cork County will have to meet their share of demand. According to planning
experts the Cork–Midleton rail corridor is expected to see the majority demand for housing. In order to meet the de-
mand for recreational facil- ities, Cork County Council have approved planning for a new GAA sports complex near Midleton.

tainly fancy their chances, but
Ballinacurra played three games too will
feel that they can come out on top in what should be a tight contest.. Both sides have
each to reach this decider with Grange overcoming
Rathpeacon in round 1 by 3-11 to 0-2. In the quarter final they got the better of Deel Rovers, winning by 3-8 to 0-11 and in the semi-final it was a much tighter call as they got the better of
