Billionaire businessman JP McManus to donate €1 million to Longford Gaelic Games

Billionaire businessman JP McManus is to donate €1 million to Gaelic Games in Longford and the same sum to every other county board in Ireland.

The money – a donation from the JP McManus Charitable Foundation – is to be evenly divided in support of men's football, women's football, hurling and camogie clubs. 

The very generous gesture is intended to assist clubs and local communities and benefit the grassroots development of Gaelic games across the country.

Previously McManus donated €100,000 to each county board in the country in 2018 and which was divided equally amongst their clubs.
