Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2016
634. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if there will be a sports capital grant allocation in 2017; the amount this allocation will be; and when the grant applications will open. [30881/16]
View answerThe Sports Capital Programme (SCP) is the Government's primary vehicle to support the development of sports facilities and the purchase of sports equipment. The most recent rounds of the programme were in 2012, 2014 and 2015.
As was confirmed in last week's 2017 Estimates Statement, a new round of the Sports Capital Programme will be open for applications in January with the announcement of allocations expected later in 2017. I expect to announce more details in this regard shortly.
