The scheme, open across the island of Ireland, is funded through the government’s Shared Island Fund and administered by Pobal on behalf of Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland (ZEVI), will pay for the civil and electric works as well as the purchase and installation of an electric vehicle charger for selected clubs.

Cricket Ireland is encouraging interested clubs to check their eligibility for the scheme and to submit an expression of interest to participate in the scheme.
