Irish rowing celebratesmulti-million euro boost
The Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, John O’Donoghue, was present to unveil a plaque at the opening of the aesthetically-excellent €5.4 million facility which was fully funded by the Government under the Sports Capital Programme.
The first sod was turned in late 1999 and work began on the NRC in 2000. The facility will provide a world class centre for the full spectrum of Irish rowing. It will host national and international competitions, and will serve as a centre of excellence for the Irish rowing’s high performance programme from junior ranks through to the senior stars.
