The national lottery-funded sports capital programme, which is administered by my Department, allocates funding to sporting and community organisations at local, regional and national level throughout the country. The programme is advertised on an annual basis.
Applications for funding under the 2006 programme were invited through advertisements in the Press on November 27th and 28th last. The closing date for receipt of applications was January 20th 2006. A total of 1,338 applications for projects costing €670 million and seeking funding of €312 million were received before this deadline, of which 1,211 were classified as local projects and 127 as national, regional or municipal/multi-sport. Applications were evaluated against the programme's assessment criteria, which are outlined in the guidelines, terms and conditions of the programme.
I was pleased on 6 June last to announce provisional grant allocations under the 2006 sports capital programme totalling €53.745 million to 719 projects classified as local. The breakdown of this funding by county is provided below and the full list of allocations is available at my Department's website at www.dast.gov.ie. I intend to announce the provisional allocations under the 2006 programme for projects classified as regional, municipal/multi-sport and national in the near future
