The National Sports Policy was published on 25th July 2018 and provided for a Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF) with at least €100 million available over the coming years.
The fund was launched in November 2018 and is open to applications until 17th April 2019. The fund will initially focus on the requirements and development plans of National Governing Bodies of Sport and Local Authorities, all of which received letters inviting them to make applications.
Assessment of the proposals received will commence after 17th April. Until proposals are received and assessed it is not possible to suggest the number of projects that will benefit from the fund.
The details of the programme are available on the Department's website.
