Gillick loses Sports Council funding

David Gillick has confirmed he has been cut from Irish Sports Council funding for 2013.

Gillick, two-time European Indoor champion and sixth in the World outdoor championships in Berlin in 2009, will lose out on a grant worth €40,000.

“Yes, I am disappointed to be cut, but, as I was unable to compete through injury, I knew the writing was on the wall,” said the Dublin man, who is training in Australia.
