'A serious asset for the area' Waterford councillor praises GAA gym open to the community

Ballysagart GAA has opened its “state-of-the-art” gym to members of the community.

West Waterford councillor Donnchadh Mulcahy, who visited the amenity, praised the club and encouraged anyone interested in joining to do so.

“This is a brilliant opportunity for people locally to access top-class facilities.

“Not every community has something like this on their doorstep. It’s about more than just a gym, it’s about bringing people together, promoting health and wellbeing, and building on the strong community spirit that Ballysaggart is known for.

“Credit has to go to the committee and everyone involved. The work that has gone into this is clear to see. Ballysaggart is in very good hands, and this is something the whole parish can be proud of,” said Cllr Mulcahy.

The gym is now open to both players and non-players, offering a range of membership options including adult, student, and junior packages, along with family and couple options to suit all households.

For those interested, memberships are now available to sign up online, with further details accessible through the club.

Cllr Mulcahy said that the Ballysaggart GAA continues to go from strength to strength and said the development of the club facilities is incredible.

“It was great to be out in Ballysaggart and see everything up close.

“The clubhouse and pitch are looking fantastic, the new hall is finished to perfection, and the gym itself is truly state-of-the-art. It’s a serious asset for the area.” 

“If you’re thinking about joining, I’d strongly encourage you to do it. It’s a fantastic setup and well worth supporting. These are the kinds of facilities that strengthen communities and improve quality of life for everyone,” said Cllr Mulcahy.
