Harps have been allocated three quarters of a million euro to get the stadium project started. For full details see www.finnharps.com
The full list of allocations is here.
EL related bits-
750k each for RSC and New Finn Park.
500k for Terryland.
200k for Turners Cross.
150k for St Colman's Park.
200k for FAI.
Do the Limerick district league own Jackman?- They got 250k.
200k for Thomas Davis as well by the way!
I may have missed some here of course, just scanned through.
What's the €200k for the FAI ?
Is it an allocation directly to them - or have they just estimated the amount of fines clubs will have to pay them over the next 5 seasons and passed it straight onto Merrion Square to save the hassle.....?
Could be something like that alright, always with the cutting corners that lot y'know, trying to save on admin work.Quote:

You're right Steno, sorry about that!
The FAI money is possibly for the new offices at Abbottstown.
Ah well thats sorts that one out then!, Galway Harps what you sorry for? don't be silly!
Sorry for confusing any passing Drogheda fans :)
Although I probably should have been looking under the Meath section for them.....
Interesting that they decline to provide a breakdown on the amounts going to each sport. Wonder why that is?
Looking through the list there certainly are a hell of a lot of GAA clubs!
Anyway, meant to say... well done Harps!
Best of luck with the project harps, I see the local junior club here got 70,000 might offer a hand to manage the money :D
Whats the situation with New Finn park now? The site is sorted already yeah? I understood it was a developer buying it and building the new place and when Harps move in, they develop the old ground. Is that still the case?
It's going to be in Stranolar yeah?
Stranorlar yeah - somewhere beside the Finn Valley AC I believe.
Great news about Harps.
Whats the story with Drogheda Town, are they planning to jon the league after United go tits up ?
easy known theres a general election coming up,Quote:

Local Gah club got €85,000 even though they already have top of the range flood lights :mad: and the most players I have ever seen training under them was 10 :rolleyes: - however, the local pitch and putt course got a nice sum :D
According to the FAI site the total for football was €17,085,000- the overall total being €85,000,000 or in other words 20.1% for the country's biggest participation sport. That said you have to apply for grant to get them, and a lot more GAA clubs than football clubs put work into their facilities.
Just noticed that Phoenix FC got half a million- fair play to them, but who the hell are they?
Didn't they used to be called Ashtown Villa (who knocked Derry out of the Cup one year)? Some of the Dublin lads might confirm/clarify....Quote:

He certainly told the FAI where to go in no uncertain terms a few years back.
