Intel® Pride of Place Competition

Confey GAA

Confey GAA

Confey GAA in Leixlip intends to construct a ball wall on the club grounds. The ball wall will offer additional training facilities for teams. It will also offer an opportunity for players to train on their own or in small groups, outside regular training times. It will give players an opportunity to improve their skills and they hope it will encourage new players to come join teams.

This project will enable the implementation of a recommendation of the Leixlip Biodiversity Action Plan - the banks on either side of the Mass Steps need manual weed clearance and planting with a mix of shrubs and herbaceous perennials that will give good ground cover, thus leaving no room for weeds. This will be the first BAP recommendation to be implemented and will build experience to implement others.

Cedar Park Residents Association

Cedar Park Residents Association

The Pride of Place grant will help to create a community space for the residents of Cedar Park in Leixlip. A space where all ages can enjoy the extensive green space in the estate that is next to the three national schools and St. Mary's GAA Club. With a renewed awareness of the local environment during COVID, it is the Association’s ambition through thoughtful planting to create a garden that will attract bees, butterflies, birds and we will contribute to providing a habitat for biodiversity and a special area for all to enjoy.
