Garret Ahearn (FG), Administrative Panel

My colleague, Councillor Michael Murphy, has been working hard on this project to do up the floodlights and get a new mower. The reason I raise Moyle Rovers is the service it provided to the State during Covid. Its facilities and premises were used during Covid as a test centre. Most people would assume the GAA club got money for providing its facilities but it did it free of charge for 18 months. It played a key role for the community in Clonmel and the surrounding area of south Tipperary. While all clubs deserve financial support, Moyle Rovers went above and beyond in its service to the State during that period. I would appreciate if the Minister took that into account when decisions are made about supporting Moyle Rovers.
