Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 February 2021
70. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if a deadline will be set for the announcement of the recipients of sports capital allocations for 2021 after the deadline closes. [6178/21]
View answerThe 2020 Sports Capital Programme will close for applications on 1 March 2021 and it is intended that the assessment of applications will begin immediately after this date. Under the last round of the Programme, a record 2,337 applications were received.
It is not possible to predict how many applications will be submitted and the timeframe for completing the assessment process will be dependent on this.
I can assure the Deputy that there will be no undue delay in completing the assessment process and it is intended to make allocations as early as possible.
