The Chairperson of St. Finbarr's, Denis Bohane, said “Thanks to Cork City Council for th eir support. Grants like this greatly help clubs like The Barrs to offer better facilit ies to the youngsters in the area.” Over the years this scheme has assisted all types of clubs and organization such as rowing, cricket, and athletics to name a few. The 2020 Scheme was announced in January and applications are awaiting approval by Cork City Council. The scheme is not intended as an alternative to any other sources of funding, but will complement any other schemes, helping with local contributions to satisfy criteria of other funding agencies, or assisting with funding where certain works are not covered by other grant schemes. The scheme operates under two pillars - Minor Sports Grants (Under 5k) and Major Sports Grants (€5k - €10k). The Minor Grant allows for minor capital grants towards enhancement of premises, pitches etc., as well as allowing for the purchase of non-personal sports equipment that will be used for at least five years. The Major Grant allows for capital grants to develop sport and active recreation facilities throughout the City. For further information contact sports@corkcity.ie
