Our Story
The GAA has a long and proud association with Wicklow Town. There has been a GAA club in existence in the town as far back as 1886, a mere two years after the foundation of the national body in Thurles in November 1884. The strength of the Club today is a testament to this success and the hard work put in by countless coaches and volunteers down through the years.
The Club is active in the promotion of our games at all levels with a strong focus on giving players of all ages and abilities a chance to play our national games. St Patrick’s originally played its games on the Murrough but moved to Dunbur in the mid 1960’s. Work on the Clubhouse in Dunbur began in 1978 and was completed in 1981. The Clubhouse was officially opened by GAA President Paddy Buggy on the 12th September 1982.
Today, we have close to 30 teams in the Club, outgrowing our current facilities. In 2017 the Club successfully purchased 29 acres of land on the Greenhills Road and were granted planning permission in 2018. This location will provide playing pitches and facilities for the future St Patrick’s GAA players.
In previous times, the people of Wicklow Town have been hugely instrumental in raising funds for Club development. This project is no different – we need our Community’s help to make this dream a reality.
Why Are We Fundraising Now?
St Patrick’s GAA Club want to develop the newly purchased land on
Greenhills Road to include:
• 3 X full size GAA pitches
• Floodlights
• State of the art dressing room facilities
• Car parking
• Training area
This is a significant development project and will be completed in three
phases. Our target for fundraising for Phase 1 development is €350,000.
With the population of Wicklow Town and surrounding areas rapidly
growing, this development will allow for increased participation across all
codes and age groups. St Patrick’s GAA Club want to provide the best
facilities possible for all players, young and old, to enjoy our native games.
