Donegal Sports Partnership has been allocated €78,750 under the new Participation Nation Outdoor Fund.
The allocation is part of a €2.26 million package designed to support the purchase and installation of permanent sport infrastructure that can be placed on public land for community use announced by Minister of State for Sport, Physical Education and the Gaeltacht, Thomas Byrne.
Donegal Sports Partnership’s share of the national fund will be invested in the following projects – Dungloe to Glenties N56 Greenway, Creeslough to Falcarragh (North-West) route, the Lifford to Castlefin Greenway (7.5 km) route, the Finn Valley in East Donegal route and McGlinchey and Ballymacool Town Parks in Letterkenny.
Welcoming the allocation, Donegal minister, Charlie McConalogue said: “This funding is aimed at assisting Donegal Sports Partnership in its efforts to spur physical activity in local community settings through the funding of omni gyms, hybrid bikes and hand cycles and various pieces of equipment. There will be free access to this equipment, and this will enhance physical activity opportunities for those marginalised within the community.
“I extend my thanks to the Minister of State for Sport, Physical Education and the Gaeltacht, Thomas Byrne TD for his work on this programme. Thanks also to the team at Donegal Sports Partnership for their work on the local projects that will benefit from the new Participation Outdoor Fund,” the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine added.
