Limerick’s Gaelic Grounds set to undergo name change

The home of Limerick GAA is set for a second name change in three years.

Limerick’s Gaelic Grounds will be known as the TUS Gaelic Grounds from October 1st with the official opening of the Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest.

The Ennis Rd venue changed its name to the LIT Gaelic Grounds in April 2019 after a 10-year agreement was reached with the college.

The 10 year partnership planned for Limerick GAA’s headquarters to be substantially redeveloped and opened up to the community, including a new plaza-type area and new stadium facilities.

Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest (TUS) will comprise of six different campuses including LIT and Athlone with more than 14,000 students.

The first graduands from the Moylish, Clare Street, Thurles, Clonmel and Ennis campuses of the Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest (TUS), will be conferred at a special ceremony at the newly named TUS Gaelic Grounds this November.

The ceremony will take place on the Ennis Rd Grounds to allow for the historic in-person graduation as last year, due to Covid-19 restrictions, all LIT conferring ceremonies were held virtually.

Welcoming the new name for the home of Limerick GAA and the location of the graduation, Chairman of Limerick GAA, John Cregan said,

“Limerick GAA are delighted to welcome the announcement by the new Technological University that the first graduation is to be held in the TUS Gaelic Grounds. This is a further example of the excellent working relationship that exists between Limerick GAA and Professor Vincent Cunnane and his management team.”

Sunday’s Limerick SHC Quarter-Final double header will act as the first games the newly named TUS Gaelic Grounds.
