Speaking on the importance of support for such projects, Jim Galvin, chair of the steering committee that spearheaded the project, said:
"We started out with an A4 page with a bit of text, and it is amazing to think that today we have such a brilliant facility for generations to come. This is a culmination of a lot of hard work from many people and support from organisations, such as ESB."
The work and benefits of the facility feature in an ESB video as part of its new community campaign. The video showcases interviews with local volunteers who worked tirelessly to develop the leading athletics hub.
Commenting on the importance of ESB supporting local initiatives, Marguerite Sayers, Deputy Chief Executive of ESB, said:
“ESB has a presence in every community in Ireland, and we believe we have a vital part to play in supporting these communities to build a brighter future by helping them to reach their full potential” she says.
“Through our various funds, including our Community Benefit and Energy for Generation Funds, we contribute more than €2m each year to local organisations and charities. We also have a number of staff initiatives in place so our people can make a meaningful contribution to their own local area.”
