Forty-five Donegal clubs are set to receive €1,320,960 in equipment-only grants under the Sports Capital programme.
The funding was announced by the Minister for Sport, Thomas Byrne.
Welcoming the allocation for Donegal clubs, local government minister, Charlie McConalogue, said: “Donegal is a huge sporting county and I know this latest round of government funding will be a massive help to all the clubs concerned.
“We are extremely fortunate to have so many well run and well organised sporting clubs in our county. It takes a huge effort on behalf of those tasked with running the clubs to keep them going, year after year.”
The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine added: “I commend all volunteers who do their bit for their local club and the work they do is something we should all appreciate and be thankful for. I thank my cabinet colleague, Minister Thomas Byrne, for allocating a significant amount of funding for clubs in Donegal and I have no doubt every allocation will be warmly welcomed and well spent. It’s important that sports clubs that do so much good work in our communities are supported by government.”
