The grant to Boyle GAA club is for upgrades that can include:

Lough Key Forest Park’s grant is for upgrades that can include:
- Lighting
- Solar PV panels

A number of private houses in County Roscommon were also successful in obtaining grants for energy upgrades.
According to Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Richard Bruton “These grants will support communities to drive projects which will deliver significant upgrades to groups of homes and businesses in their local area. Not only will these upgrades help us deliver on our climate commitments, but they will result in cleaner, healthier, warmer homes and businesses and cheaper energy bills.”
