€157,000 from the Dormant Accounts Fund will be used to invest in community sports and physical activity initiatives in Kildare through the Kildare Sports Partnership.
This funding will help ensure that new opportunities and new sports are opened to people of all abilities and backgrounds across the county.
The Dormant Accounts Funding allows unclaimed funds from accounts in credit institutions to be used for projects focused on overcoming the barriers and challenges to participation in sport for those who are economically or educationally disadvantaged, or those affected by a disability.
Minister Martin Heydon said: “Across the country, there is over €4m available which will be crucial for ensuring everyone has the chance to lead a more active and healthier life.
“In Kildare, we’ll see €50,000 for our sports hubs, €40,000 for Sports Inclusion Disability Projects, €46,000 for urban outdoor adventures and €21,000 for equality, diversion, and inclusion projects."
