Kinvara GAA Development Committee
To meet the needs of a growing community, Kinvara GAA set up a dedicated Development Committee. Our club has always been at the heart of local life, and this group was formed to drive real, lasting progress—focused on upgrading and expanding our facilities for everyone. Working closely with Cairde Cinn Mhara, the committee is leading the development of a modern, multi-use facility that goes far beyond sport. Plans include a new Clubhouse, Wellness Centre, and Gym—spaces that will support health, wellbeing, and connection across the wider Kinvara community for generations to come.
As the vision grew, so did the scale of the project—and the need for a strong, skilled team. From early ideas to today’s detailed plans, we’ve brought together architects, builders, volunteers, and local leaders who all share the same goal: building something our whole community can be proud of. Every step of the way, we’ve relied on expert input—from planning and design to construction.
Each member of our growing team brought unique skills that have been invaluable in shaping the future of Kinvara GAA.

Your Support Matters
Kinvara GAA and Cairde Cinn Mhara rely on the support of individuals, local businesses, and our community at large to bring this vision to life. As our project grows, so does the legacy we are creating together that will be remembered by generations to come.
Your support is not just a financial contribution; it's a vote of confidence in our community and the dedicated individuals who have come together to shape the future of Kinvara GAA.
Building for Real Community Needs
We’re not building just for growth’s sake. We are responding to clear, proven needs. A detailed feasibility study, combined with input from coaches and past planning efforts, has highlighted the gaps in our current facilities and the pressures from Kinvara’s rapid growth.
But numbers only tell part of the story. We continuously listen to players, coaches, families, and supporters to make sure their voices shape every step. By blending strategic planning with real community insight, we’re creating a development plan that truly serves the people it’s designed for, with lasting impact.
