The Gaelic Games Associations have today announced the 112 clubs who have been allocated the Local Disability Sports Fund Grant from the 2023/2024 Sport Ireland Dormant Accounts. This initiative aims to assist clubs’ disability supports across the 26-county region.

Funding can support new inclusive initiates and/or those already established in Gaelic Games clubs. Clubs could apply for funding of between €1,000 and €3,000 to support any or all of the following three areas:
