JP McManus has donated €100,000 to every Gaelic Games county board in Ireland to be divided equally among their local clubs.
The €3.2million gesture has been made on the back of Limerick’s All-Ireland Hurling Championship win this year
McManus has been a main sponsor of Limerick GAA for years and is heavily involved in sport, including horse racing and the upcoming JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare Manor in July 2020.
A letter to each county board has said the intention is for the continued development of Gaelic Games in the country.
A spokeperson for the GAA has described it as “unprecedented” and an “incredible gesture”.
The gesture was met with universal approval online
