Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 June 2023
335. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if she will provide a list of sports capital grant awards to golf clubs in the past two rounds of funding, including the amount awarded; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30847/23]
View answerIn relation to capital funding, 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. Over 13,000 projects have benefited from sports capital funding since 1998 bringing the total allocations in that time to over €1.15 billion. The Programme for Government commits to continuing the SCEP and to prioritising investment in disadvantaged areas.
A list of all allocations under SCEP, including the last two rounds is published on my Department's website at: - www.gov.ie/en/collection/471ed5-sports-capital-allocations/. In addition, following the most recent rounds of the Programme, a Review has been published. These Reviews include, inter alia, statistical information on the breakdown of allocations. The 2020 Review was published last month and can be found at the following link:

and the 2018 Review can be found at the following link:
