Sports Capital Programme Winners in East Galway

Great to see funding from the Sports Capital Programme for clubs & projects in EastGalway - well done to all the volunteers and teams! Shows how we are building active and healthy communities across the west!
Having fought for Increased funding, this grant allocation is largest sports capital grant in the history of the State, worth €150 million.
It is great news for many clubs & groups today however there are some groups who will be disappointed their project was not chosen this time round. Don’t give up on your plan, there is always another round and hopefully a favourable outcome at that time. Please get in contact with me should you need help making a new application.
More than 1,900 clubs and schools will benefit from capital grants to build new sporting facilities or upgrade existing ones. Every county will see projects being funded. Thirty-five sports will benefit including GAA, rugby and soccer as will sports including tennis, kayaking, boxing, cricket and wheelchair activities.
