Birr Town Association Football Club has submitted a planning application to Offaly County Council for significant developments at Frank O'Connell Park in Woodfield, Birr. The club is seeking permission to install four lighting standards, each twenty metres in height, fitted with LED lighting to illuminate the existing pitch. The application also includes proposals to replace and upgrade the current pitch surface to an artificial astro pitch, along with the installation of 1.2 metre high boundary fencing surrounding the facility. Additional structures included in the plans are dugouts, with various associated and ancillary site works. The improvements would enhance the club's training and match-day facilities and extend usability of the pitch beyond daylight hours. The planning application is currently under consideration by the local authority. Further details can be found on the Offaly County Council planning portal.
