RTÉ GAA reporter Westport GAA have received a donation of €500,000 for development work, with the promise of a further €500,000 in the future. The donation has been given by local supporters, the Kenny family. The first €500,000 sum is earmarked for the club's new pitch development on the Golf Course Road in Westport. Westport GAA have submitted a planning application to the council for the construction of a Croke Park-size football pitch with four sets of changing rooms, a 250-seater stand, floodlights, and a clubhouse to be located on the site. It is hoped work will commence on the project in June.
