12 sports clubs in Co Monaghan and Co Cavan are to benefit from new EV charging points.
Over 220 sports clubs across Ireland are eligible to apply for funding to install new EV Chargers on their grounds for their members and visitors.
Cubs ranging from golf to GAA have been deemed eligible to progress to the delivery phase of the Shared Island Sports Club EV Charging Infrastructure Scheme. 9 clubs in Monaghan and 3 in Cavan are now eligible to apply for this infrastructure funding.
The eligible clubs will be able to draw down funding for the installation of electric vehicle charging in their club grounds. Cllr Pauric Clerkin says this is a great step towards increasing our public EV chargers in local communities across Ireland and offers the potential for clubs to generate income from commercially attractive sites.
The Monaghan Councillor says it is essential that EV chargers are available throughout communities.
