Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport

I propose to take Questions Nos. 608 and 609 together.

No decision has been made on the timing of any future rounds of the Sports Capital Programme. Any future rounds of the Programme will be advertised in the national press. Any interested group should register on www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie as this will be the only way to apply under any future rounds of the Programme.
