skibbereen rowing club
A rowing club founded in 1970 that has members from Skibbereen Parish and surrounding parishes. Funding is used towards construction of a new boat house, gymnasium fitout, and gym equipment.

"The American Ireland Fund has made a great difference to our club as it has enabled us to promote and develop an awareness of the benefits of sport to the health of a community. Young people from a geographically disadvantaged area with a history of rural depopulation and emigration have been nurtured to experience an enthusiasm for sport and a sense of personal value and achievement.”
