Record allocations to Fingal local and community grassroots sports clubs

Fianna Fáil Minister for Fingal East, Darragh O’Brien TD has welcomed record allocations to support local and community grassroots sports clubs across Fingal.
 
Approximately €5.5M has been allocated to Fingal clubs under the Community Sport Facilities Fund, formerly the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme.
 
Commenting Minister O’Brien said, “I want to congratulate the wonderful clubs across Fingal who have received funding under the sports capital programme. It’s been a bumper year for Fingal Clubs with many also allocated funding earlier this year for equipment. It’s been a pleasure to work with many of the clubs on their applications and I really look forward to seeing the funds be put to good use.
 
“We all know the benefits of well-resourced clubs. Through these grants we’re providing essential amenities for people of all ages, and at the end of the day if we want as many young people as possible to participate in sport, we need to have appropriate facilities and equipment available.
  
“This is an unprecedented level of sports funding and will prove transformative for sports clubs in our communities. As a party in government, Fianna Fáil are committed to providing everyone with the opportunity to participate in sport.”
