Fianna Fáil’s Senator Eugene Murphy has welcomed the recent announcement of €700,000 in funding for fifteen sports clubs and schools in County Roscommon.
“This funding will give community centres and local halls a new lease of life”, he commented. “It is providing for playgrounds, athletics facilities, pitches, carparking and general amenity improvements.
“There is also significant funding to develop our green spaces, with funding also going to a number of our Tidy Towns groups”, he noted.
“The funding will improve the lives of our communities living in rural Ireland. The funding is part of an allocation of €11.4 million nationwide announced this week and represents one of the largest allocations under the CLÁR Programme to date.
“Among the recipients are Reeside Athletics, Roscommon Enterprise Centre, Moore United, St Aidan’s GAA, Ballintubber Development Association, Gorthaganny Cummunity Centre (Marian Hall), Clann na nGael GAA, Elphin Community Centre, Strokestown Community Centre, Tulsk GAA, Boyle Town Teams, Keadue Sportsfield Committee, St Mary’s Hall, Kilbegnet and Glinsk, St Ronan’s Hall, and Ballyleague National School,” concluded Senator Murphy.
