    From the Irish Sports Council:
    The Irish Sports Council today (January 19th) announced the core grants for the National Governing Bodies (NGB) of sport in Ireland. 53 sports will receive a total of €6.29 million. The total for the core grants for 59 sports will eventually reach €6.73 million when 6 outstanding applications are finalised.
    A significant development in 2005 is the identification of 16 "Focus Sports" for high performance. They have been identified as having the potential to deliver success at elite international level. They will have a separate investment based on High Performance Plans. These grants will be announced in the near future, following the publication of the Athens Review and their absence for the announcement accounts for the apparent drop in the headline grant figure.
    The Focus Sports are

    Athletics Ireland
    Badminton Union of Ireland
    Cycling Ireland
    Equestrian Federation of Ireland
    Golfing Union of Ireland
    Irish Amateur Boxing Association
    Irish Amateur Rowing Union
    Irish Amateur Fencing Federation
    Irish Canoe Union
    Irish Clay Pigeon Association
    Irish Hockey Association
    Irish Ladies Golfing Union
    Irish Sailing Association
    Irish Taekwondo Union
    Swim Ireland
    Tennis Ireland

    And from the actual figures, it looks like the NRPAI's gotten €25,048 (that then gets split between the NTSA, NSAI, NASRC and occasionally some goes to the Pony Club, though they usually get funded through the Equestrian end of things) and the ICPSA has gotten an as-yet-to-be-confirmed amount, but last year was €35,000 and with their focus sport status, that should go up (hopefully by a large step!).

    Congratulations to the ICPSA on their status, hopefully it'll allow for even more medals to come home from international shooting.
