Midlands Counties In Line To Get €1 Million Each From JP McManus

Thursday, 14 December 2023 15:55

County boards will receive the funds in the coming days.

JP McManus will make a €1m donation to every county in Ireland for investment in Gaelic games across all codes.

It's understood county boards across the country will receive the funds in the coming days.

Laois GAA has confirmed they've received the funds already:

We are delighted to confirm that today 14th December 23, CLG Laois have received a €1,000,000.00 donation from the JP McManus Charitable foundation to distribute evenly to the GAA, Camogie and Ladies Football clubs within Laois. We would like to acknowledge this generous donation from JP & Noreen McManus and Family which will serve as a massive boost to the development of Gaelic Games across county Laois and the local economy.

McManus donated €100,000 to every county board in a similar gesture back in 2018.

Midlands 103 commentator Brian Gavin says there's a long list of costs for every club, and this donation will make an enormous difference to their bottom line:
