635. Deputy Ciarán Lynch asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the sports grant scheme is available to a scout troop; if not, the equivalent capital grant system that is in place to assist the work of a local troop with capital projects; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Sports Capital Programme funding is available for projects that are sporting in nature. In making an application, any organisation would need to make clear the sporting content of their proposed project. While some SCP applications from scout troops have been successful in receiving funding, other applications from scout troops have been considered to have little or no sporting content.
