Fethard GAA Club applied for planning permission to build a new two-storey clubhouse and demolish the existing spectator stand. The development includes changing rooms, a medical room, and a hurling wall. Tipperary County Council granted permission, but Fethard Tennis Club and local residents appealed, citing concerns over access routes impacting the tennis courts and future development. The tennis club expressed disappointment over the council's decision, arguing it undermines other sports facilities and should restrict access to the spectator stand from the main entrance only.
