Potential EU funding for Louth GAA stadium comes under discussion

Cathaoirleach of Ardee Municipal District, Cllr Dolores Minogue said she was was delighted to welcome the Chairperson of Louth GAA, Seán McClean, to a meeting with MEP Nina Carberry to discuss potential European funding to support the development of the new Louth GAA stadium.

“We had a very productive and encouraging discussion, and MEP Carberry has committed to a follow-up meeting to explore the funding avenues further”, Cllr Minogue explained.

“As an elected member of Louth County Council, I sit on several boards that monitor and guide funding streams coming into the region.

“This gives me a valuable insight into where opportunities lie, and I was happy to share this with Seán — just as I have done for many local clubs across my area.

“ In several cases, we’ve had great success in securing funding; in others, we haven’t been as lucky — but I’ve always done my best to support every group that reaches out. It was a great day for both Seán and myself to have the opportunity to raise this project at European level.”
