Almost €5.5m In Funding Announced For Kildare Sport

Breakdown of the clubs listed.

Almost 5.5m has been allocated for Kildare sport.
 
Minister for Sport Jack Chambers announced a record €150 million in funding for local sports clubs across the country with over €5.4m in grants to be allocated to Kildare.

144 million is being allocated to almost 1,900 applications, with 6 million euro kept in reserve for appeals by those who weren't successful in applying for funding.
 
The Sports Capital and Equipment Programme is the primary vehicle for Government support for the development of sports and recreation facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment throughout the country.

Minister for Sport Catherine Martin says the grants announced today will significantly improve sports facilities in every county.
 
Fianna Fáil TD for Kildare North, James Lawless, commented: "I’m delighted to see such a strong investment in grassroots sports from this Government, and particularly happy to see such a strong investment in the county.
 
"Volunteer clubs in towns and villages across the county will be able to deliver really important projects aimed at improving participation across the board, providing enhanced facilities for clubs with strong female participation and supporting clubs active in disadvantaged communities.
 
"It also reflects the funding challenges facing clubs across the country and the vital role that sport plays in supporting community and individual wellbeing, a role that came into sharp focus during the pandemic.
 
"Finally, I have been advised by Minister Chambers that all unsuccessful applicants will be given the opportunity to appeal the Department’s decision and information in this regard will be made available to them by the Department,” he added
