CLARE GAA are to begin planning a report on floodlighting Cusack Park, Chairman Kieran Keating has confirmed.

At present Cusack Park is one of a small minority of county grounds without floodlights but delegates at the May meeting of Clare GAA were informed that the County Board intend to assess the possibility of installing the lights.

Finance report at June meeting:

Clare GAA chairman Kieran Keating informed the May board meeting that “there will be a financial report at the June meeting. Fitzpatrick and O’Dwyer (accountants) are working on it at present while our treasurer Rebecca (Sexton) has been unavailable in recent weeks due to illness”.

Floodlighting at Cusack Park:

Clare GAA will be “starting work on a plan in the coming months in relation to the floodlighting of Cusack Park”, board chairman Kieran Keating informed the May meeting.

Fixtures ‘as Gaeilge’:

Ruan’s Michael O’Regan asked the meeting if the Board had changed its policy with regard to the publication of GAA fixtures in Irish.

“Publishing the fixtures for two weeks in advance is a demarcation between those scheduled for the week and for two weeks time and it is also a positive way of supporting the Irish language”, he said.

The meeting was also asked about notification for board meetings which used to accompany the fixtures but that hasn’t been the case in recent times.

Chairman Kieran Keating said he didn’t have a problem with “reverting to the way things were in the past”.
