Written answers

 A new capital fund for the upgrade of Community Centres was referenced recently in the National Development Plan, and funding of €5m has been secured for this under Budget 2022.

This is consistent with the Programme for Government commitment to establishing a small capital grants scheme for the maintenance, improvement and upkeep of community centres. 

The details of this capital scheme are currently being developed within my Department.  It will be launched in early 2022 and further details, such as the type of community centres eligible, will be announced in due course.
