While visiting Gaeltacht Mhúscraí today (7 February), the Minister of State for the Gaeltacht Patrick O'Donovan announced that a grant of €60,079 has been approved for Cill na Martra GAA to enable them to develop a new surface and fence on the football pitch in Cill na Martra.
Minister of State O’Donovan said:
"The approval of this assistance under the department's Community and Language Supports Programme will further enhance the work being undertaken for the benefit of the language planning process - which is ultimately for the benefit of the Gaeltacht and Irish language communities. I know the Club is doing great work to pass on our national games to the next generation and it has plans for more facilities to be developed in the coming years. I am therefore delighted that I am able to provide this.”
These grants are in line with the commitment made in the National Development Plan and the Community and Language Supports Programme under actions 2.13 and 2.22 specifically of the Action Plan 2018-2022.
