“I welcome the allocation of funding from Healthy Ireland for the GAA Walking Tracks initiative.

One of the key elements of this particular initiative is to encourage Clubs to make their facilities available to non-playing members.  Walking tracks are a great asset to communities, and particularly to rural communities, where there are less well-lit walking routes than in urban areas.

I congratulate the following Clubs in Cavan and Monaghan whose applications were approved for funding in this round.

Corlough GAA – €10,000

Gowna GAA/LGFA  –  €15,000

Killeevan Sarsfields GAA – €25,000

Latton O’Rahilly GAA – €15,000

The volunteers in all our Clubs do excellent work in providing recreational and sporting facilities right throughout Cavan and Monaghan and the GAA play a very important role in the life of every parish” stated Brendan Smith TD.
