Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 March 2017
794. Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when the allocation of funds for the sports capital programme will be announced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11933/17]
View answerA record 2,320 applications were received under the 2017 Sports Capital Programme and these applications are seeking a total of €155m. All of the applications received will be assessed by officials in my Department over the coming months. Given the number of applications received and the detailed information submitted, it will take a number of months to complete this process and I expect that allocations will be made in August or September.
