Every child in Ireland should be given €130 a year for sports and cultural activities, says Sinn Féin

Team Ireland member Daniel Wiffen is welcomed by supporters on O'Connell Street in Dublin, celebrating their remarkable achievements at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. 

Every child in Ireland should be given €130 a year towards a sports or cultural activity, Sinn Féin has said.
