Under the 2000 Sports Capital Programme, 52 clubs and organisations from County Kildare applied for funding; 29 of them receiving a combined total of £2,001,500 in allocations under the programme.
All of the applications were assessed in accordance with the assessment criteria outlined in the guidelines, terms and conditions governing the programme. In assessing the applications received, consideration is given to the population base of each county and provision is made for the equitable geographical spread of funds and for the spread of funds among different sports and community groups, having regard to the range of existing facilities which have been funded in previous years.
The 2000 programme is now completed. Under the sports capital programme there is a separate application process each year and applications made in a previous year cannot be considered under the following year's programme.
