Unclaimed funds in dormant accounts are managed by the National Treasury Management Agency and used to address economic, social and educational disadvantage, or support those with a disability.

Kerry Fine Gael TD, Brendan Griffin, welcomed the allocation for Kerry saying it will increase participation in sport and contribute to positive physical and mental health.

Independent TD Danny Healy-Rae has also welcomed the funding.
