The Dormant Accounts Funding will benefit a wide range of projects in the Premier County according to Fine Gael General Election Candidate Garret Ahearn.

The Tipperary Local Sports Partnership has received €20,000 under Community Sports and Physical Activity Hubs, €10,000 under Youth Leadership, €15,000 through the Volunteer Training & Support Programme, €10,000 under Sports Inclusion Disability Programme Capital Supports and a further €41,770 under Phase 2 of the Urban Outdoor Adventure Hubs.
