The 2012 sports capital programme is now closed. The closing date for on-line applications was 5 p.m. on Friday 1 June 2012. Any organisation that applied under the programme should receive an acknowledgement of its application before the end of July 2012.
Departmental officials will start evaluating all applications as soon as possible. This process will take some time, due to the volume of applications and the detailed information contained in each one. As a result, I do not expect to be able to announce the list of successful applicants before the late autumn or early winter 2012.

Ceist:1037 Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will indicate whether apart from the capital sports programme, there are any other avenues by which sports clubs which are just starting off and which cater for needs across the community can receive grant aid; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
