Further €5.7m allocated to Ryder Cup preparations in Adare 

Community engagement groups are keeping locals 'informed and aware' of the preparations, with the tournament expected to 'discommode' some local businesses

Government officials believe the Ryder Cup will bring “in excess of €300m to Ireland as a whole”, as 280,000 people are expected to attend the tournament at Adare Manor.

A further €5.7m will be allocated to ensure the upcoming Ryder Cup  leaves a “lasting legacy” in Adare and Limerick, but some local businesses are set to be “discommoded”.

Tourism and sports minister Patrick O'Donovan made the announcement at the Adare Village Hall on Thursday evening, sharing details of the “key legacy projects” which will be funded by his department.
