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

All of the 2320 applications received under the 2017 Sports Capital Programme will be assessed by officials in my Department over the coming months.  Given the number of applications received and the detailed information submitted, it will take a number of months to complete the assessment process.  It is expected that an announcement regarding allocations will be made in September.
