Faoi dheireadh thiar thall, d’fhógair Rialtas na Breataine an tseachtain seo caite go gcuireadh siad maoiniú ar fáil le Páirc Mhic Asmaint a athfhorbairt. Má bhí muid fada go leor ag fanacht léi, níl aon amhras ná gur céim mhór chun tosaigh í an tacaíocht sin le staid den scoth a dhéanamh dár gcluichí náisiúnta i gcroílár iarthar Bhéal Feirste. Ligeadh Páirc Mhic Asmaint a dhul chun anró le 12 bhliain anuas. Sin 12 bhliain de dheiseanna caillte agus 12 bhliain nuair ab éigean dár nGaeil óga inspreagadh a fháil in áiteanna eile. Ceileadh an deis bheith ag imirt i bPáirc Mhic Asmaint, ceileadh sin ar ghlúin iomlán. Tá i bhfad níos mó i gceist le hathfhorbairt Pháirc Mhic Asmaint ná áis den scoth a thógáil. Baineann sí le dóchas a thabhairt: dóchas do pháistí faoi ocht mbliana atá ag tosú ag imirt agus don té a bhfuil dóchas aige nó aici geansaí Aontroma a chaitheamh agus iad ag imirt ar son a gcontae i bPáirc Mhic Asmaint. Dá mbeadh Páirc Mhic Asmaint i mbun gnó, ní haon áibhéil a rá go rachadh sí go mór chun sochair do gheilleagar an cheantair. Cruthóidh an tionscadal poist sna hearnálacha tógála, fáilteachais agus turasóireachta, chomh maith le poist san fhiontar áitiúil. Cruthóidh sé deiseanna agus tarraingeoidh sé isteach infheistíocht a bhfuil géar-ghá léi. Nuair a bheas an staid faoi lán seoil rachaidh sí chun sochair ní hé amháin do ghnólachtaí áitiúla ach do gheilleagar an cheantair uile. Anois ó tugadh na gealltanais maoinithe, caithfimid a chinntiú go gcuirfear an tionscadal seo i gcrích — deireadh leis an mhoill, deireadh leis na leithscéalta. Caithfidh iomlán an mhaoinithe bheith ann le gur féidir tús a chur ar an obair lom láithreach.
