Ballyhoura Development congratulates all local sports and community organisations that have been allocated funding under the latest round of the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme. A range of groups from across North Cork and East Limerick received allocations that will greatly improve the community and sporting infrastructure.

Pádraig Fitzgerald, Chair of Ballyhoura Development, in congratulating local organisations said:

"Sport is such an important part of the social and cultural life in rural communities and for many communities improving the sporting and recreation facilities is critical for increasing participation and inclusion in sport'. Pádraig also praised the volunteers in clubs for their tireless work and their commitment to improving their facilities to benefit all members."

The Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin, said:

“This is a great day for sports clubs and community groups right around the country and I want to congratulate all of the successful applicants. It has been a tough two years for many sports clubs but the pandemic really demonstrated the importance of sport for our collective wellbeing. ...There is a huge variety of different sports covered and I was particularly pleased that the scoring system placed an even greater emphasis on female participation''.
