The planning application was received by Kilkenny County Council in September

‘Trustees of Kilkenny GAA’ have been granted planning permission from Kilkenny County Council to develop a section of UPMC Nowlan Park in Kilkenny City.

Permission has been given ‘for a mezzanine floor and single storey extension to the gym area within Ardan Ó Cearbhaill’.

The works may be subject to certain conditions set out by the local authority.

Earlier this year, significant improvement works took place around UPMC Nowlan Park by Kilkenny GAA.

Works included replacing an old boundary wall and building refurbishment works within the grounds.

Furthermore, Kilkenny County Council’s roadworks crew upgraded and widened the public footpath outside the ground on O’Loughlin Road.

The improvements are more than welcome with the arrival of Garth Brooks to the venue next year.

Brooks will play UPMC Nowlan Park on Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5.

Aikens Promotions, which promotes and books shows for an array of major venues in Ireland, have brought the event to the Kilkenny venue along with Limerick, Cork, Galway and Belfast.
