Mayo GAA contacted the Commissioners of Public Works (OPW) with a request to acquire a site (1-acre approx.) at the Government Buildings complex known as Michael Davitt House, Castlebar, Co. Mayo. Mayo GAA propose developing the site, which adjoins the GAA grounds at MacHale Park, into a running track and GAA playing pitches.
