Limerick Council and the Football Association of Ireland have undertaken a project to provide all weather soccer and multiuse facilities at separate locations throughout Co Limerick.

Councillor Patrick O’Donovan, Chair of the Environment Strategic Policy Committee, said: "This represents yet another step forward for the Local Authority in its continuing efforts to further improve the number and standard of recreational facilities available to members of the public.

"Through interaction with local groups, who possess an in-depth understanding of the needs of their locality, my colleagues and I will continue to press for further developments of this nature throughout the county."
