The 2017 round of the Sports Capital Programme attracted a record 2,320 applications. Last November and December, Minister Ross and I announced €60m in allocations for a record 1,800 projects under the 2017 round. A review of the 2017 round of the programme has now been finalised and published on my Department's website www.dttas.ie. This review highlights aspects of the 2017 round of the SCP that worked well but also suggests some further improvements which should be considered prior to the next round of the programme opening for applications. An announcement in relation to the timing of the next round is expected in the coming weeks.
