The Sports Capital Programme is the Government’s main way of supporting the development of sports facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment.
This year, there were 11 successful applications from clubs and sporting organisations in Dublin North West.The largest allocation to the constituency was €200,000 for St. Kevin’s Boys Football Club followed closely by €147,565 for Erin’s Isle GAA Club in Finglas. This will greatly aid their continued development and ensure their success in the future.
It is also positive to note the allocation of €866,468 to Dublin City Council, which will go to amenities in city parks and recreational spaces.
The hard work of local communities and the standard of the applications made by local clubs have clearly paid off with these sports grants.
As a Government TD, I was delighted to have supported so many clubs in their efforts to get funding and the results are good news for clubs and sport in Dublin North West.
The clubs and groups which were allocated funding include:
€3,629 Charleville Lawn Tennis Club
€10,500 Clonliffe Harriers Athletic Club
€147,565 Erin’s Isle GAA Club
€697 Finglas Kempo Karate Club
€40,000 Glasnevin Lawn Tennis Club
€60,779 Home Farm FC
€27,141 McKelvey Celtic FC
€1,846 Sports Across Ireland
€200,000 St. Kevin’s Boys Club
€9,785 Whitehall Colmcille GAA Club
€2,125 Woodlawn Sportslink F.C.
€504,067 Total
More than two thousand clubs applied for funding and over 800 clubs received funding totalling €40.5m, which is a 33% increase in funding since the last round of Sports Capital Grants in 2012.
