SPORTS GRANT OPENS
Sports Capital and Equipment Programme Now Available
Applicants for local projects can now apply for up to €200,000, and projects deemed to be of regional significance can get as much as €500,000.
This year’s guide has a focus on climate action and sustainability for the first time. As well as this, projects will only be considered for grant support if access is guaranteed to men and women on equal terms.
The programme aims to increase female participation, and to that end, all women’s only facilities will be considered.
Clubs who are not registered are encouraged to do so at sportscapitalprogramme.ie. Once registered, all applications must be made through the same website by 8th September.

A Message from Kanturk & District Community Council
Hi everyone. FANTASTIC NEWS! This is the first picture of the scaffolding starting to be put in place to replace the MAIN ROOF of the Edel Quinn Hall. A few other things to be done before proper commencement and that’s at the builder’s discretion. But when it starts, the hall will be fully closed. There’s two other roofs to be done but this will be a huge step forward and will ensure events can take place without the fear of rain interfering as happened recently. Sorry for any inconvenience caused Thanks everyone for your continued support.

Millstreet Prepares For New Mural
The Millstreet Tidy Towns Association have prepared for another wonderful addition to the town. The group arranged for artist Neil O’Dwyer from Tipperary to create a new mural at Minor Row. The mural will be on the gable end of the O’Riordan family home. This artwork will celebrate the town’s Equestrian associations as well as their fair days from over the years.
Neil O’Dwyer is no stranger to Millstreet’s streetscape - the Mill Race 1910 Mural at High Mill Lane, visible from the Main Street as well as the Waterfall Mural near O’Regan’s Mill are both courtesy of Neil. We look forward to seeing the finished work! For now, we celebrate the old photos shared by Sean Radley of Millstreet Museum, as well as the progress photos, also provided by him.
Progress on the mural
