New scheme to award sports clubs’ volunteers
The Awards will honour eight individuals who are representative of the 400,000 people who volunteer their time and effort to sport in Ireland each year through their involvement with sports clubs and organisations the length and breadth of the country.
Minister O’Donoghue called on sports organisations throughout the country to submit nominations for the Awards, expressing his hope that the new scheme will raise the profile of volunteers whom he described as the “lifeblood of sport in Ireland”.
