The original air dome on the right at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence in Bekan.

New dome delivered to Mayo sports centre

A year after it was blown down during Storm Éowyn, the iconic dome at Connacht GAA's Centre of Excellence is moving closer to being replaced.

A new structure arrived at the centre in Bekan earlier this week.

Posting on X, Connacht GAA announced a 'momentous day at the COE' as the new dome arrived from Slovenia.

And there's great excitement for the building process to continue in the coming weeks.

The dome - the largest of its type in the world and which hosted hundreds of matches every year - was wrecked by high winds during Storm Éowyn in January 2025.
