Robert Emmets GAA is proud to express its full support for the proposed synthetic grass sports pitch at Greenhills Park. This development is crucial for the health and wellbeing of our expanding youth population, offering a safe, high-quality, and all-weather sporting facility where children and teens can be inspired to participate, develop their skills, and stay active year-round. A synthetic grass pitch will be a valued amenity for Robert Emmets GAA and other local clubs and organizations, accommodating multiple sports and activities and ensuring reliable access—regardless of weather conditions or season. Such facilities foster positive social connections, encourage volunteerism, and reinforce the vital role of sport in community life.The presence of a well-managed community sports pitch directly contributes to preventing anti-social behaviour, providing young people with constructive outlets and positive engagement, especially during evenings and weekends.  Increased participation in sport supports personal development, teamwork, and healthy routines, reducing risks associated with exclusion and inactivity. Robert Emmets GAA urges SDCC to support this initiative, creating an opportunity for current and future generations to enjoy the many physical, social, and community benefits that a modern synthetic pitch will bring to Greenhills Park.
