Speaking today Cycling Ireland CEO Mat McKerrow said: “We’re very pleased the issue has been able to be resolved, and a clear path is now in place for usage of the facilities in Tramore Valley Park – for the benefit of Cycling Ireland members and clubs. We’ve some resulting paperwork to do but will get this actioned swiftly so the interruptions to the clubs and events can be lifted. I’d also like to thank the members, clubs and volunteers for their patience through what has been a frustrating time – and we look forward to renewed activity in the Park”.
