Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 March 2007
194 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the regional breakdown of the allocation of sports capital lottery funds over the past ten years; the level of funding that may be available in 2007 and the next five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11826/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe sports capital programme, which is administered by my Department, allocates funding to sporting and to voluntary and community organisations at local, regional and national level throughout the country. The programme is advertised on an annual basis.
The amount of sports capital funding allocated on a county basis in each of the past ten years is contained in the following tabular statement.
The 2007 sports capital programme was advertised in the Press on 15 and 16 October last. The closing date for receipt of applications was 24 November 2006. All applications received before the deadline are being evaluated against the programme's assessment criteria, which are outlined in the guidelines, terms and conditions of the programme. I intend to announce the grant allocations for the 2007 programme in the coming weeks.
Payments in respect of allocations under the sports capital programme and of other sports capital grants such as those towards the establishment of key regional and national facilities and to national governing bodies of sport are made from the national lottery-funded C1 subhead of my Department's Vote. The total amount provided for in the subhead for payments to grantees progressing or completing their projects in 2007 is €63,092,000.
Under the National Development Plan (2007-2013) an investment of €991 million will be made in sports infrastructure over the period of the Plan to ensure the provision of recreational facilities on a nationwide basis, including local swimming pools, the facilities at the Sports Campus at Abbotstown and the redevelopment of Lansdowne Road.

195 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the time scale for the next round of sports capital national lottery applications and funding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11827/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe sports capital programme, which is administered by my Department, is the primary means of providing funding to sporting and community organisations towards the provision of sporting facilities at local, regional and national level throughout the country. The programme is advertised on an annual basis.
The 2007 sports capital programme was advertised in the Press on 15 and 16 October last. The closing date for receipt of applications was 24 November 2006. All applications received before the deadline are being evaluated against the programme's assessment criteria, which are outlined in the guidelines, terms and conditions of the programme. I intend to announce the grant allocations for the programme in the coming weeks.
Arrangements for the 2008 sports capital programme have not yet been decided.
