Millstreet Community School has proudly unveiled plans for a transformative redevelopment of its sports facilities — a project that will deliver a state-of-the-art grass-surface, sand-based all-weather pitch, complete with full flood lighting, and a brand-new athletics zone featuring a 130-metre surfaced running track, a dedicated long jump area, and enhanced cross-country training facilities. A massive redevelopment of our Sports Hall Facilities is taking place in 2026.

Suggested donations: €10, €25, €50 — any amount is hugely appreciated!

These developments represent one of the most ambitious and forward-looking investments in school and community sport ever undertaken in Millstreet. It will significantly enhance opportunities not only for students, but also for local clubs, organisations and residents across the town and surrounding areas.

The plans include:

Fully flood-lit, grass-surface all-weather pitch, 130-metre surfaced running track for speed and sprint training & Long jump runway and landing pit

Cross-country training trails and conditioning zones

The all-weather pitch will support soccer, football, camogie, athletics, PE classes, and extra-curricular training across all codes. The extended athletics facilities will allow students and community groups to train in sprinting, jumping and endurance in a high-quality, year-round environment.

The school has seen exceptional growth in numbers over the last eight years. There has alos been an increase in participation across a range of sports — GAA, soccer, athletics, cross country and more. The new pitch and athletics facilities will dramatically increase capacity, allowing teams to train safely, even in the winter months.

Every student in Millstreet Community School will benefit directly from this development. From our busiest PE classes to our early-morning and after-school teams, this space will support teamwork, fitness, confidence and participation. It is a huge step forward for extra-curricular life and wellbeing at the school.

We need all the help we can get from our Past Pupils, local businesses and the wider community. Please give what you can to support this amazing project.
