The article discusses a new initiative to adopt the European model of multi-sport facilities aimed at supporting the development of various sports in Ireland. Currently, a substantial portion of government funding goes to Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) clubs, which receive nearly three times the funding of other sports. To address disparities, the initiative seeks to allocate taxpayer funds more equitably, focusing on supporting minority sports, clubs in disadvantaged areas, and organizations that lack land ownership. This marks a significant shift towards inclusivity in sports funding policy.
The European model of multi-sport facilities is being targeted to assist in the development of various sports, allocating â¬2 from every â¬5 of taxpayer funds towards Gaelic games. This initiative aims to ensure equity by supporting minority sports and organizations in disadvantaged regions and those lacking land ownership.
The GAA clubs currently receive significant government funding, nearly three times higher than other sports, which raises concerns about the distribution of resources and support for less dominant sports.
