Significant government funding is to be allocated for a new activity centre at Garrylucas Beach according to Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan.

The Fianna Fáil TD made the announcement via his Twitter account.

He went on to say that: 'the building will include indoor & outdoor showers and facilities for cleaning equipment and changing rooms.

'It will also include a briefing room for tour operators that work in the area. Garrylucas is such a popular spot with kitesurfers, surfers and kayakers'.
