41 Tipperary groups will receive €19,535 to fund physical activity for older people.
Grants have been awarded to clubs nationwide to provide an accessible and enjoyable means for older people in communities to reap the health rewards of activity.
Minister of State for Sport Jack Chambers says the scheme has been an incredibly beneficial resource and this funding is recognition of the importance of sport and physical activity in the lives of older people.
