193. Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when the sports capital programme grants will be allocated; and the criteria that will be adopted to determine the allocation and amounts. [51278/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraDetails of all local allocations under the 2017 round of the Sports Capital Programme were announced earlier today and can now be viewed on my Department's website.
The full scoring system and assessment procedures for applications was published previously and is also available on the website. In relation to the allocation amounts, the total amount available to allocate was divided by county on a per-capita basis. The score obtained at assessment stage and the amount of valid funding sought were the primary determinants of the recommended allocations. Some other minor adjustments were proposed by officials in cases where the full amount of the grant could not be provided with a view to facilitating some element of such applications.
