I propose to take Questions Nos. 225 to 230, inclusive, together.
Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport, increasing participation at all levels and raising standards, including the allocation of funding across its various programmes. Sport Ireland channels funding for sport through the relevant recognised National Governing Bodies of Sport and the Local Sports Partnerships. I am arranging for Sport Ireland to respond directly to the Deputy in relation to funding allocations to sporting organisations for 2019, 2020 and 2021.
In relation to capital supports, the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme (SCEP) is the primary vehicle for Government support for the development of sports and recreation facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment throughout the country. Grants are made to individual clubs and organisations with many of these grantees having male, female and juvenile members. Details of all grants awarded under the Programme for the years in question are published on a county basis at:- https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/471ed5-sports-capital-allocations/
The Programme for Government commits to continuing the SCEP and to prioritise the investment in disadvantaged areas. On 30th November, I announced that a new 2020 round of the Programme was opening with applications accepted from 11th December until 12th February, 2021. At least €40 million is being made available and it is planned to make allocations later in 2021.
