Deputy,

A number of GAA member clubs have applied to receive an EV charging point under the Shared Island Sports Clubs EV Charging Infrastructure Scheme, which is funded by the Department of the Taoiseach and which has a maximum value of €15 million to be distributed on an all island basis across a number of sports. This funding will be used to undertake civil and electric works at sports club sites, as well as provide charging equipment.

This scheme is still in the appraisal stage and it is not confirmed which clubs will receive an EV charge point, so the specifics of how much GAA clubs may receive cannot yet be confirmed.

The scheme launched for initial expressions of interest in January 2023 and is expected to run until Q4 2024.
