More than half a million euro in grants have today been allocated to various Donegal sports groups and organisations.
A total of €640,00 was allocated from the Sports Capital Funding for the county by Minister Michael Ring TD.
The announcement has been welcomed by local Senator Jimmy Harte.
“Sport is so important to the development of our communities and the health of our children must be to the forefront in encouraging them to particpate in sporting activity.
There are so many local groups and clubs involved in promoting sport and the volunteers who give their time so it is important that the Government funds these efforts,” he said.
