Included in the scope of the Shared Island Sports Club EV Charging Infrastructure Scheme are 227 clubs of which 179 are in Ireland and 48 in Northern Ireland. There are 5 eligible clubs in Donegal: CLG Ard An Ratha Ardara GAA, Curragh Athletic FC, Dunfanaghy Golf Club, Letterkenny Golf Club, and Portsalon Golf Club.

All of these clubs have been assessed for suitability by an independent panel for inclusion in the scheme. The scheme includes GAA, rugby, soccer, golf clubs and other sporting organisations in towns, rural communities and city suburbs.

The clubs have now been approved to proceed to engage a supplier from the framework contract to provide EV charging services in their grounds.
