The Connacht Hockey community has called on the Galway City Council PACT to allocate match funding for the long-awaited hockey pitch at Millers Lane at their upcoming budget meeting.

This request comes after a disappointing and unsuccessful application to the government’s Local Sports Infrastructure Fund (LSIF) following over 17 years of lobbying for a second Hockey pitch in Galway City for clubs and schools.

The hockey community has expressed gratitude towards the City Council and its members for their ongoing support but has emphasised that this project has been in development since 2007.

Aisling Keogh, Donal Dempsey and Emer Deacy joined John in the studio on Sunday to talk about it.
