In 2018, The Mooncoin Celtic Finance and Development Committee was formed with the sole aim of developing the new Mooncoin Celtic home ground in Suir Crescent over a four-year period.

The committee held its first official meeting in July 2018 and at this time, the committee members included Denis Healy (Chairperson), John Ryan (Vice Chairperson), Seamus Comerford and Noel O Keeffe (Co-Treasurers), Michelle O Hanlon (Secretary), Tom Grant, Gillian Bailey, and Michael Comerford. 

Work on the new home ground had already begun with a massive overhaul of the drainage system. Since then, major works on the pitch development, dressing rooms and flood lights has been completed with a total spend of just over €400,000.

The money to complete this work came from the Sports Capital Grant, Kilkenny County Council grants and loans from the Waterford Junior League and Clann Credo. None of this would have been achievable without the continued success of our 300 Club Lottery Syndicate.

We would like to thank all the shareholders of the 300 Club for their continued support which has attributed to the prevalent success of the syndicate and of the development and allowed us to be in a position to attain grants and loans.

It is time now for a change as the current Finance and Development Committee step down and a new committee to come on board. The new committee are Mervyn O Callaghan (Chairperson), Kieran Holohan (Vice – Chair), David Brennan (Secretary), Caroline O Mahoney and Eileen McGrath (Co-Treasurers), Aideen Murphy .

We wish the new committee all the success in completing the development in Suir Crescent and look forward to a bright future for Mooncoin Celtic with big plans in the pipeline.
