The Irish Sports Council today announced the High Performance funding to sports NGB's for 2011.

The award of €70,000 to the Olympic Trap HPP in the current economic climate marks a strong level of confidence in the programme, our members, the sport and the ICPSA.

In addition to the HPP funding Derek Burnett and Philip Murphy were each awarded €30,000 and €20,000 carding funding respectively.

This funding in addition to the recently announced Core Funding of €35,000 sees the ISC investing €155,000 in the ICPSA for 2011 for which we are thankful.
