Government announce provisional funding of almost €4m for new Finn Harps stadium

Ministers Catherine Martin and Jack Chambers announced a provisional allocation of €3.991m to the FAI under the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF) for the development of the new Finn Harps stadium in Donegal.

It is hoped that this new funding will allow the project head into its construction phase, 

But this is subject to compliance with all of the other terms and conditions of the LSSIF including assurances that the balance of the construction costs can be secured.

"This is excellent news for the FAI, Finn Harps Football Club and the football community in Donegal,” Catherine Martin said.

“The government is committed to investing in our sport infrastructure and we have ambitious plans to enhance investment in the LSSIF and the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme in the years ahead.”

Jack Chambers added: “I am very aware of the need to see real investment in the League of Ireland and the government will play its part in this regard.

“The new Finn Harps Stadium will be a significant boost for the League of Ireland, and I wish the FAI and the club every success with the project.”
