Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 January 2013
744. Deputy Eric Byrne asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will outline the grants available for community boxing clubs; the way a person may apply for them; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3859/13]
View answerThe allocations under the 2012 Sports Capital Programme were announced last December. The 2012 Sports Capital Programme is now closed and there are no more grants available at this time. It may be possible for the club to raise funds via the ‘Tax Relief for Donations to Certain Sports Bodies’ scheme (section 847A of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997). This is a Revenue operated scheme which offers tax benefits to individuals or companies who make donations to the club. Further details on this scheme and how it operates can be found on the Revenue Commissioners website.
