Three padel tennis courts with lighting installed at Breaffy House Resort

Castlebar, Co. Mayo – Mayo County Council has granted planning permission for Breaffy House Resort to construct three padel tennis courts. The development, undertaken by Padel Sports 100 Limited, will feature artificial grass surfaces, 4‑metre‑high fencing and 6‑metre‑high LED lighting to enable night play. The resort, situated in Castlebar, will expand its sports facilities to meet the growing demand for padel tennis in the region. Padel, a hybrid of tennis and squash, has seen a surge in popularity across Ireland, and the new courts will provide a modern, well‑lit venue for both local players and visitors. The council’s planning department approved the proposal, allowing the installation of the courts and associated lighting infrastructure. The 4‑metre fencing will ensure safety and the LED lights will offer ample illumination for evening sessions. The resort, located on the outskirts of Castlebar, will be able to host local and regional padel events, adding a new sporting attraction for the area. The project is part of the resort’s broader development plan to enhance community amenities. The approval reflects the council’s commitment to supporting recreational developments that enhance local amenities and stimulate economic activity.
