Under Phase 2 of the Sports Energy Support Scheme, Laois Local Sports Partnership will be granted the highest in the region, with €20,000.
Offaly and Westmeath will receive €10,000 and €3,000 respectively.
Over 1,900 clubs and facilities across the country will benefit from the €2.5 million investment.
Midlands Senator Pippa Hackett has welcomed the news:
Laois Offaly TD Sean Fleming says:
"I am pleased to see this funding announced today by the Government for Laois Sports Partnership. This funding will support local clubs and organisations in Laois with increased energy costs and ensure the sustainability of Laois sports clubs. Community-owned sports facilities in Laois that are not affiliated specifically to a national governing body, such as the GAA, will receive funding through the Laois Sports Partnership. This is to ensure that all community organisations are supported in Laois by the Government. The Government has also allocated funding under this scheme to national governing bodies to pass down to their respective clubs in Laois."
Minister for Sport and TD Catherine Martin says:
"The benefits of sport and physical activity to health and wellbeing are well known and there are many cross-cutting benefits from investing in sport. Many sports clubs and organisations continue to experience financial pressures due to increased energy costs, and the extension of the Sports Energy Support Scheme will further support the sector. The scheme has now distributed over €23.5 million to clubs and facilities across the entire sporting community and throughout the country"
