The McManus family’s €1 million donation to Wexford has allowed the county’s clubs to each make a €1,000 contribution towards the further development of the county’s centre of excellence (CoE).

Wexford’s 127 GAA, ladies football, and camogie clubs have all agreed to give the sum towards the five-year plan to complete the Halo Tiles CoE in Ferns. The €1,000 represents almost 13% of the €7,874 they each received when the McManus cheque was split.
