Kilkerrin Sportsfield Development Update July 2017

The development works at Kilkerrin Sportsfield have been progressing steadily over the past year. The floodlights and generator have been fully installed and tested and are functioning satisfactorily.

The extension to the building is at an advanced stage with all works being carried out voluntarily.  Internally, the floors have been poured following the completion of all plasterwork. These need approximately a month to dry out sufficiently before tiling, second fixing, electrical work and finishing can commence.

The groundworks outside are ongoing with the new waste water treatment system due for installation this week. Footpaths will soon need to be shuttered and poured.

The project is at such an advanced stage due to the hard-work and selfless efforts of a countless number of people. Thanks to everybody who has given their time, equipment, machinery, etc for the good of our community. Thanks also to everybody who has contributed financially towards the project through the cattle rearing scheme, direct donations and through supporting the fundraising activities of both Kilkerrin Community Council & Kilkerrin United, both of who have contributed €20,000 to date towards the works.
       
With your continued support the project should be completed within the next few months. Volunteers and donations are still more welcome than ever as we strive to finish the building and its surrounds to the highest possible standard.
