The grant will cover around half of the overall cost of the project, which is being driven by the  Ballina/Killaloe Sports & Community Facilities Development Company

South East Clare Councillor Pascal Fitzgerald says the project has come about because of the work of a number of interested groups, including Killaloe native and former Ireland and Lions star Keith Wood.
