The Sports Capital and Equipment Programme (SCEP) is the primary vehicle for Government support for the development of sports and physical recreation facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment throughout the country.
The 2020 round of the SCEP closed for applications on Monday 1st March. By the closing date, 3,106 applications were submitted seeking over €200m in funding. This is the highest number of applications ever received.
The scoring system and assessment procedures for the 2020 round have now been finalised and can be downloaded at www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie. All applications are being assessed in accordance with these. Given the large number of applications received, this assessment process is likely to take a number of months to complete. As soon as this process is complete all applicants will be informed of the outcome of the assessment of their application.
As the assessment of applications has not been completed it is not possible to provide details of the number of illegible applications. Invalid applications will be given an opportunity to correct their application during the assessment process. A breakdown of applications per county is provided in the table below.
