“I would like to congratulate all the successful clubs and organisations for submitting such strong applications to the Department of Sport. It made my job as the local Government TD much easier to push for funding when such strong applications had been submitted. So much of the work done in our communities, especially by sports clubs is voluntary in nature and a huge amount of credit is due to the local volunteers who give so much of their time to their respective organisations".
