Back to EpisodesIreland's Dáil Debates Inner-City Sports Funding
Description
In a Dáil debate, Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon highlights the stark contrast between Dublins inner city athletes and their well-funded counterparts. Despite stars like Troy Parrott emerging from the north inner city, theres not a single full-sized soccer pitch in the area. Gannon points out that public spending often favors the well-off, creating barriers for inner-city clubs. Tánaiste Simon Harris agrees, committing to bridge the gap with a new sports funding round and working directly with Gannon to improve facilities for kids in disadvantaged areas.
