View answer2,320 applications were submitted under the 2017 Sports Capital Programme. The full assessment process and scoring system for the 2017 round of the Programme is available on my Department's website at http://www.dttas.ie/sites/default/files/publications/sport/english/sports-capital-programme-scoring-system-and-assessment-procedures/assessment-manual-2017-scp.pdf.
Over the coming months, all of the applications received will be assessed by officials in my Department in accordance with this process. Once the assessment process is completed, an announcement regarding allocations will be made later this year.
