Written Answers. - Sports Capital Programme.
Under the national lottery funded sports capital programme, which is administered by my Department, funding is allocated to sporting and community organisations at local, regional and national level throughout the country. Construction projects funded under the programme must comply with both the Building Regulations, 1991, as enforced, and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Construction Regulations, 1995. Part M of the Building Regulations, 1991, sets out in detail the facilities which must be provided for disabled people.
