On 25 September, Minister Martin and I announced €230 million in grants for sports clubs and facilities under phase 2 of the Community Sport Facilities Fund (formerly the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme).

Over a quarter of a billion euro has been allocated to community sports clubs and facilities in 2024, taking account of the earlier equipment-only allocation of €26 million, with a total investment of €256 million. This will facilitate the largest-ever investment in sports facilities in communities across Ireland.

The deadline for appeals was 29 October and the Department received an appeal from this organisation within the deadline. The process of reviewing the appeals is currently ongoing. All clubs will be advised of the outcome of their appeals shortly.
