The funding will support engagement in sport and physical activity.

Sport Ireland has highlighted that it has increased investment across its network of 29 Local Sports Partnerships (LSPs) to €12.66m, more than doubling investment since 2018.
The 2026 Core Grant Investment will build on the existing work of LSPs, strengthening their capacity to support and empower communities, particularly those experiencing disadvantage, to engage in sport and physical activity. This approach will ensure Sport Ireland’s vision is embedded locally through the LSP network.
The investment enables LSP staff to deliver programmes through sustained funding initiatives, promotional activities, and community and club development. Coordinated centrally by Sport Ireland, this investment is designed to maximise the impact of LSP resources, foster partnerships, and enhance capacity through targeted investment in local sport and physical activity.
Guided by the objectives of the Sport Ireland Strategy and the actions of the National Sports Policy, the 2026 Core Grant Investment will expand the reach and impact of the LSP network, supporting the promotion of local opportunities and national participation campaigns across Ireland.
