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 2017 round of the programme is currently open for applications. Applications must be made online at www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie. The application period closes on Friday next 24 February.
Information on how to make an application, including written and "YouTube" guides to the application process, are also available on the website.
Once the closing date has passed, work will begin on assessing the applications received. Based on previous timeframes, I expect that allocations under the current round will be made in August/September of this year.
