Sports Equipment Grants
We have taken a number of calls and emails on the topic of Sports Grants & Funding. We have over 10 years experience working with Sports & GAA Clubs, Community Centres & Sports Associations. We advise on the sports equipment best suited to a club/organisations needs and offer discounted packages.
Details & Aims.
Michael Ring, Minister of State for Tourism & Sport approved sports equipment grants for 2.6 million late last year. 22 national sports bodies have been included for these grants, they range from the Irish Rugby Football Union, Canoeing Ireland, the GAA, the Irish Sailing Association, to the Football Association of Ireland and the Ladies Gaelic Football Association.
The sports equipment grant for the 22 sporting bodies will allow them to:
1. purchase new sports equipment
2. enhance participation in sport
3. improve sporting performance
True Sporting Benefit.
Minister Ring, commented that although the sports equipment grants will be used at a national level the true benefit and focus will more keenly be felt at a local level in communities around Ireland “who head out on weeknights and weekends to train with their local club”
