The Aisling Chiosoig Partnership plans to develop a new retail and hotel complex on the site of Cusack Park. The home of Clare GAA will be moved to the Quin Road, on the outskirts of Ennis, where the Clare county board plans to build a 28,000 capacity stadium. Also believed to be included in the deal is the construction of office space and and an all-weather pitch, with the Clare board using the excess funds to transform a 70-acre site in Tulla into a state-of-the-art training facility.
The developers behind the proposed Riverside Quarter have welcomed the approval of local clubs and are now hoping Ennis Town Council will approve rezoning of the land, to clear the path for their development. If given the go ahead, Riverside Quarter could create up to 1,000 new jobs.
Chairman of the Cusack Park Development Committee Jim Nash told Clare radio today that the €84m move would also have to be approved by the GAA’s national executive.
