Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 June 2017
67. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the stage the sports capital grants adjudication process is at; when they will be announced; the total budget for 2017; if the allocation will be on a county basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29976/17]
View answerAll of the 2,320 applications received under the 2017 Sports Capital Programme (SCP) are currently being assessed by officials in my Department. A total of €30m has been provided for the scheme. Given the number of applications received and the detailed information submitted, it will take a further number of weeks to complete the assessment process. I expect that an announcement regarding allocations will be made in September.
The full scoring system and assessment procedures for the 2017 round of theSCP has been published 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
