“The grants will go towards funding critical equipment and upgrades for clubs, such as the upgrading of sports equipment and new lawnmower equipment.

“I want to thank the volunteers and club members in our county for the invaluable work they do at the very heart of our communities.

“The grants announced today reflect the priority Fianna Fáil in Government places on encouraging and facilitating sporting participation and excellence across the country.”
