David Ford said: “This great news underpins excellent work done by St Comgall’s GAA club in not only the sporting field but in community relations too.
“This scheme will provide an exciting new centre for the community and will be very positive for the health and wellbeing of young people in the area.
“It is also an honour for Antrim as a town to host a GAA Centre of Excellence and I am very pleased that this planning application has been approved.”
