THE number of construction workers engaged on the Curragh Racecourse project rose to 330 this week and is set to increase further as important deadlines loom.

Saturday, April 13th will mark the first Curragh fixture of 2019 though this meeting, and the May bank holiday fixture, will see a ‘soft launch’ of the new facilities ahead of an official opening for the Guineas Festival on May 25th-26th.
