Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Sports Capital Programme, which is administered by my Department, and part funded from the proceeds of the national lottery, funding is allocated to sporting and community organisations for the capital costs of providing sports facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment at local, regional and national level throughout the country.
My Department does not provide funding for ongoing operational costs.
