There has been a warm welcome to the news that Donegal Sports Partnership has been allocated €437,887 in core funding through Sport Ireland for 2024.
The local organisation will also receive €7,000 for Women in Sport.
Donegal minister Charlie McConalogue said the funding is a significant investment in an organisation which does tremendous work in our county.
He said the total allocation of €444, 877 is the fifth highest in the county and an increase of €60,000 on last year’s allocation.
“This latest investment will help assist the team at Donegal Sports Partnership to continue the tremendous work they do throughout our local communities,” he said.
“Since it was established in 2001, Donegal Sports Partnership has worked hard to deliver programmes to increase participation rates, particularly in the hard-to-reach groups by providing high quality training and coach education programmes.
“Sport and physical activity have always been key features of life in Donegal, and Donegal Sports Partnership plays a vital role in promoting a wide selection of programmes that are inclusive and contribute to people’s physical and mental well-being.”
The allocation is part of a record investment of almost €30 million in core funding support to sporting organisations announced today by the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin, and the Minister of State for Sport and Physical Education, Thomas Byrne.
