Provisional allocation of â¬3.991m for Finn Harps stadium
The Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin TD, and the Minister of State for Sport and the Gaeltacht, Jack Chambers TD, today announced a provisional allocation of â¬3.991m to the FAI under the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF) for the development of Finn Harps stadium in Donegal.
The Finn Harps project has received funding previously and it is hoped that todayâs announcement will allow the project to advance to construction stage. The actual payment of the grant will be contingent on compliance with all of the other terms and conditions of the LSSIF including assurances that the balance of the construction costs can be secured.
A swimming pool for west Wicklow has been listed as a priority on Wicklow County Council s Capital Plan and €50,000 will go toward a feasibility study for the project.
The Capital Plan includes a list of large-scale infrastructural projects to be prioritised for the next three years, if and when funding is made available.
The Community Pool for West Wicklow campaign group started in 2018 and stressed that the Baltinglass Municipal District was the only district in the county without a community pool.
Chairperson Deirdre McCormack was delighted with Wicklow County Council s announcement on Friday (26th). This is great news, she said.

The planned White Water Rafting Centre in Dublin has won the support of tourism and sporting organisations as the city council prepares to make a new funding application for the controversial project.
The council has already asked for expressions of interest for the €25 million project which is planned for Georges Dock in the IFSC.
Both Sport Ireland and the Olympic Federation of Ireland say they will support a funding application as it would offer the country s only training facility for the Olympic sport of canoe slalom.
Fáilte Ireland also said it will support the development as it will add to the range of things to see and do in Dublin Docklands and has the potential to become a motivating visitor experiences playing an important role in encouraging visitors to stay longer in the area .
