Limerick Senator Kieran O’Donnell welcomed the granting of €64,300 in Sports Capital Grants to Castleconnell National School for the building of an artificial all-weather pitch on the school grounds.
This was granted after the school last Friday won their appeal against the original decision which deemed the application invalid.
Castleconnell National school made a joint application with two local sports club namely, Ahane/Castleconnell/Monpellier Community Games and Ahane Camogie Club.
“I am delighted to have worked on an on-going basis with Castleconnell National School under the appeal process to secure €64,300 in sports capital grants for the building of an artificial all-weather playing surface. Mr O’ Donnell said.
“This all-weather pitch will be a great amenity for the school and fellow applicants as well as the wider sporting and community in the Castleconnell area.
- External Walls: Up to €8,000 Grant
- Attic: Up to €1,500 Grant
- Cavity Walls: Up to €1,700 Grant
- Internal Dry Lining: Up to €4,500 Grant
“I wish to commend Castleconnell National School’s principal Richie Ryan and his committee who worked hard on this application and I look forward to continuing to work with them on this very worthwhile project.” Senator O’Donnell concluded.
