THREE GAA clubs in Donegal are among a number of clubs around the country who will receive Dormant Account funding through the Disability Inclusion Programme Scheme for 2025.
Both Naomh Conaill and CLG Baile na nGalloglach/Milford GAA clubs will receive €2,000 each while Clg na nDúnaibh receives €1,000.
This funding opportunity was open to all clubs in the 26 counties affiliated to the GAA (including Handball and Rounders clubs), the LGFA and the Camogie Association.
It’s is designed to support clubs in the provision of inclusive programmes and supports for people with a disability. The funding must be used to support new inclusive initiatives and/or enhance those already established in Gaelic games clubs.
Clubs could apply under two categories:
- Clubs commencing a new programme could apply to the Start Up fund for €2,000
- Clubs building on existing initiatives could apply for the Top Up fund for €1,000.
Welcoming the news, Uachtarán Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, Jarlath Burns, said: “I want to congratulate all of the clubs who have received this funding and want to pay tribute to Sport Ireland and the Government for making it available to them.
“It has been my privilege to tour the country and see numerous examples of the work of our clubs enhancing their communities and especially where inclusivity is valued, and no one is left out from feeling that the GAA is Where We All Belong.
“I have no doubt but that these funds will enrich the lives of those involved and I want to salute our volunteers who make it happen.”
