Over 1,900 clubs, community-led sports facilities, national facilities and major stadiums in Ireland will receive support to meet the rising energy costs associated with the provision of sport
The Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin TD, and the Minister of State for Sport and Physical Education, Thomas Byrne TD, have announced a €2.5 million investment under Phase II of the Sports Energy Support Scheme.
Under the scheme, Tipperary Sports Partnership will receive €22,000.
This funding will provide support to over 1,900 clubs, community-led sports facilities, national facilities and major stadiums in Ireland, to meet the rising energy costs associated with the provision of sport.
Building on the support previously provided by the Government last winter, this funding stream aims to help alleviate financial pressure as a result of increased energy costs on sports organisations, and ensure the sustainability of Irish sports clubs.
Speaking on behalf of Sport Ireland, Dr Una May, said: "We would like to thank Ministers Martin and Byrne for their ongoing support.
"The re-opening of the Sports Energy Support Scheme demonstrates the Government's dedication to alleviating the impact of increased energy costs on sports clubs and organisations, allowing them to continue providing access to sport and physical activity throughout 2023".
