Sporting organisations get €85m grant aid windfall
Mr O’Donoghue unveiled a bumper package of grants to sporting and community organisations under the 2007 Sports Capital Programme — with €3m alone earmarked for the Munster IRFU’s major redevelopment of Thomond Park.
Other major projects to benefit from the taxpayers’ largesse include the redevelopment of Dublin’s RDS as a home venue for Leinster IRFU.
