    The 2005 Carding Grants were announced today by the Irish Sports Council. For those who don't know, these are grants given by the ISC to athletes who display talent at an international level to support their efforts to bring home medals for Ireland. The grants are given at set levels; World Class 1 (up to €30,500), World Class 2 (up to €22,900), World Class 3 (up to €19,100), International (up to €11,500), Developmental (up to €4,600) and Junior (up to €1,600). There are also grants given to Junior squads this year.

    So we have four shooting grants this year, not as high as in past years alas, but we've seen people moving from junior to senior grades so that was to be expected; congratulations to Nick Flood and Derek Burnett on their World Class 2 grants, David Malone on his International level grant, and to the ICPSA for the Junior Squad carding grant.

    For those interested, the criteria for these grants are
