730. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when the sports capital grants will be allocated; the basis upon which the applications are reviewed in 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17485/17]
View answer2,320 applications were submitted under the 2017 Sports Capital Programme. Details of the full assessment process and scoring system for the 2017 round of the Programme are 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.
