Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport in view of the fact that €12.5 million has been allocated for capital spending on sport for 2013 and that this represents a fall of €5.5 million 30% on the 2012 allocation, if he will provide details of the national and regional projects he intends to fund in 2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 31 and 46 together.
€30m is available to me to allocate to successful applicants under the 2012 round of the Sports Capital Programme. I recently announced almost €26m in provisional allocations for local projects under the 2012 SCP and will shortly be announcing a further €4m in provisional allocations in respect of non-local projects.
