Commented Galway West and Mayo South Fine Gael TD, Seán Kyne: “I am delighted with today’s announcement by Sports’ Minister Michael Ring of €2.32 million in sports capital grants for Galway under the third round of this Sports Capital Programme.
“Forty-nine groups and organisations will receive over €2.3 million which will go a long way towards improving facilities, buying new equipment and constructing new infrastructure.
“The funding is firmly rooted in the helping to realise the benefits which local sporting facilities bring to communities. By placing a limit on the maximum amount available in any one grant the Minister has ensured that as many organisations, and in turn communities, will benefit from this round of Sports Capital funding.
“The results of the Health Ireland Survey 2015 commissioned by the Department of Health and released this week show that obesity rates have fallen slightly. Sports clubs and organisation play a hugely important role in promoting physical activity and healthier lifestyles.
“The Sports’ Capital Programme funding is vital and will help clubs and organisations in Galway and the West improve facilities and build on the important role they play in our communities,” concluded Deputy Kyne.
