 The club remained without a home ground until the early 1980s when a first permanent site was purchased from St Flannans College at Clareabbey.That well-appointed grounds and clubhouse has since passed from the club in a roundabout way to the Clare County Board.It was purchased from the club by the Ennis Urban Council in 1998 and subsequently bought back from the Urban Council by the county board and is now the official headquarters of Clare GAA.
