Petition to Kildare County Council
Currently, the GAA Club uses land leased from the Department of Defence but the site is too small and not capable of being developed in any way. Furthermore, Athgarvan lacks a community facility that could be used to accommodate meetings and indoor social, sport and recreation activities.
