Q1 2025 Talent Trends: Key Priorities in Recreation & Sport

Recreation and Sports accounted for 7% of all recorded roles in Q1 2025, highlighting an active and expanding subsector within Ireland’s nonprofit landscape. From 2025 onwards, we’ve updated our data collection methods for sporting roles, offering a more accurate and detailed insight into employment trends and strategic priorities shaping the sports industry nationwide.

  1. The inclusion of high-level executive appointments—such as Chief Executive Officers, General Managers, and Finance Directors—demonstrates a strong, sector-wide focus on organisational development and strategic leadership. These leadership roles signal a shift toward structured, strategically guided sports programmes with greater oversight and long-term vision.
  2. A significant portion of roles in this period focus on enhancing the sporting experience for both participation and performance. The sector is prioritising high-quality programme delivery to benefit elite athletes and community participants alike.
  3. Appointments in communications, marketing, digital strategy, brand management, and diversity and inclusion underscore a push toward broader participation and inclusive access. These strategic roles support organisations in shaping public engagement, building cross-sector partnerships, and ensuring their initiatives resonate across diverse demographics and communities.
  4. The rise in fundraising and development roles highlights a growing focus on financial sustainability. In response to uncertain public funding, sport organisations are actively pursuing philanthropic support, corporate sponsorships, and community giving to diversify their income streams.
  5. Meanwhile, roles centred around digital engagement reflect increasing investment in technology and innovation. These positions are transforming how sport is delivered, accessed, and experienced—aligning with wider trends in digital transformation across the nonprofit sector.

Together, these findings show that the Sports and Recreation subsector in Ireland is undergoing professionalisation, strategic evolution, and a shift towards inclusion. Career opportunities in sport now extend beyond the field, encompassing areas such as executive leadership, operations, marketing, fundraising, and technology.

Largest-ever funding announced for Sport Facilities

Ministers Martin and Byrne announced €230m in grants for sports clubs and facilities under phase 2 of Community Sport Facilities Fund (formerly Sports Capital and Equipment Programme).

Clubs will be better able to serve their communities with the help of this fund. For example 194 clubs are getting funding to install solar panels, 317 clubs are getting funding for LED floodlights and 966 projects will include improvements to pitches.

 

“These vital improvements and new facilities will add to the equipment allocations announced earlier this year to ensure that more people than ever have access to the sports they love in their local areas.”

Since 1998, more than 13,000 projects have benefited from sports capital funding, bringing the total allocations in that time to approximately €1.15 billion. The Sports Capital and Equipment Programme has transformed the sporting landscape of Ireland with improvements in the quality and quantity of sporting facilities in virtually every village, town and city.

This represented the largest-ever allocation of equipment-only grants under the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme to date which will be of practical benefit to multiple sports organisations, their members and athletes across Ireland.

 

Minister Martin said:

“I am delighted to have secured the largest ever allocation for the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme. This is great news for sporting organisations throughout the country, their members and athletes. As a Government we have committed to 60% overall participation in sport by 2027.

Today’s announcement takes us further along that journey as the funding confirmed, including over €26m for sports equipment earlier this month, will help to increase participation in a wide range of sports. As we look forward to the Olympics just around the corner today’s announcement is an important demonstration of the Government’s commitment to the sports sector and the communities that use the facilities to be funded. I look forward to announcing the sports clubs and organisations throughout the country who will get the funds.”

Locally led initiatives grant support ireland

3 Successful Grant Application Tips for Locally Led Initiatives

National policies regarding grant investment in communities and rural areas recommend that local development should be locally driven. Focusing on a bottom-up approach, led by local stakeholders and local partnerships, is highly encouraged. In our experience, there are a number of key priority issues that your grant proposal should try to address.

Here are 3 areas you should consider for a successful, locally-led grant application:

 

1. Identify your community need

There are several community grants available on an annual or semi-annual basis, offering varying levels of funding. Each grant application welcomes a range of proposals for community development. Before proceeding with your proposal, it is important to ask the following key questions:

  1. What does our community lack?
  2. What facilities or resources might help address one of our current social issues?
  3. What facilities might attract new people to our area?

We advise that you focus on developing your response to the above areas in a thorough manner. It is not best practice to rush this process – application assessment rounds re-appear, and it is better to have a well-rounded, shovel ready plan than an incomplete application. Organisations should consult local community groups and stakeholders, conduct surveys, and consider the ‘multi-use’ aspect of your idea.  

2. Focus on inclusivity in your grant application

Consider a project that offers something for everyone, no matter their age, ability, or interest. The more inclusive projects typically score higher when it comes to grant assessment. In addition, consider the potential for a social enterprise to collaborate with your project. Most grants will require fiscal projections and want consideration to be made to the future financial sustainability of your project.

Consider inclusivity factors, such as:

  • Will there be job creation as a result of your project?
  • Could it stimulate the local economy by attracting tourists?
  • Will it provide additional facilities for your community, such as an event space?

It’s important to focus on the broader aspect of your community, rather than your personal interests. Doing so will ensure that your project is inclusive and benefits a broad range of diverse community members.

3. Consider long-term projections

It is important to consider the long-term social impact and sustainability of your project. Try to base this off citeable academic research, as local authorities and grant assessors will take an evidence-based approach to evaluation. Consider your project’s long-term projections, such as:

  • Who will oversee and run this project?
  • Do we need to set up a new committee?
  • Does that committee contain team members with useful professional backgrounds in; project management, construction, accountancy, business development? 

Considering the future social impact of your project will aid your overall application. Adopting a future-focused plan which contains innovative ideas, rather than repeated projects, are highly regarded by Local Authorities. Therefore, it’s advisable to consider how your project is innovative and could be replicated in other communities, whilst still supporting the strategic objectives of local and national development policies.

Sports Capital Allocations 2022

Sports Capital Programme Allocations 2022

Some months have now passed since the Sports Capital Programme, capital grant allocations were announced, and the appeals process is underway, it’s time to reflect on whether the grant allocations really did achieve what it set out to do.  

In total, €144 million was allocated in February to almost 1,900 applications with €6 million kept in reserve for the appeals process. This represents the largest investment in local sport through the programme and far surpasses the previous allocations in 2019 of approximately €55 million for regional and local capital projects.  

At the time of the announcement, Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin, said: “The grants we are announcing today will significantly improve sports facilities in every county. There is a huge variety of different sports covered and I was particularly pleased that the scoring system placed an even greater emphasis on female participation”  

So, what was the county split for the allocations this time compared to previous years?  

Sports Capital Grant Allocations 2022


It easy to look at this graphic and see that Dublin, Cork and Galway were the big recipients but that’s how the programme is designed in order to address population density of the big cities and therefore sport participants.   

 What is more interesting is to look at the counties who have had the largest increase in allocations.  

 

Top 5 County for increases % increase in allocation from 2018
Laois 312%
Carlow 259%
Tipperary 258%
Monaghan 243 %
Westmeath 242%

 

We can also look at the provincial split for allocations and this does reflect the dominance of Dublin and its hinterland with the population stats for the country.  

Applications by Province 2into3 Sports Capital 2022

Allocations by Sport

The allocation by sport also shows some interesting statistics. The majority of the top 10 sport almost doubled their allocation but this does not show the government’s commitment to multisport centres which fared well also, with a 165% increase in allocations.  

Sports Capital Grant Allocations by sport 2022

This can also be looked at in terms of sports and which sports had the largest increases in grant allocation also.  

The GAA family includes LGFA and Camogie and they were extremely successful. The biggest turnaround this year was for the LGFA with a 1224% increase in their allocation and this can be attributed to the objective of the Ministers to increase female participation.  

Emerging Sports

However, there are several new sporting interests successfully attracting funds this time round. There is also an increase in the number of allocations to non-sport clubs who are also focused on the promotion of sport and increasing participation in sport.  

Emerging sports sports capital 2022

The type of applicant represents the diverse activists in local sports across Ireland and the rich fabric of sport in the Irish community.  

No of applications by applicant type sports capital 2022

 

The investment in grass roots and regionals sporting interests is extremely strong now and reflects the Governments objectives of increasing sport participation at all levels and abilities and it is hoped that this will continue in the upcoming round of the SCP and the much-anticipated Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund which can assist ambitious plans across the country.  

How can your club secure a Capital Grant in the next round of allocations? Here is a check list:


✓ Prepare early – be proactive
✓ Ensure correct title of property is in place or secure a lease for a minimum of 15years
✓ Agree what you are seeking a grant for and get a quote for the cost
