522. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of clubs and organisations that received the maximum grant level under the sports capital grant scheme in 2017; and the number of those that received 50% of the maximum grant in 2017, by county. [2905/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraDetails of all allocations under the 2017 round of the Sports Capital Programme were announced last November in the case of local applications and in December in the case of regional applications. In relation to local applications, the overall funding available was first distributed by county on a per-capita basis. The maximum possible grant was €150,000 and a total of 33 projects were allocated this amount.
In relation to regional applications, the maximum possible grant was €200,000 but due to the level of demand for worthwhile projects, no club/organisation was allocated this amount.
Full details of all the local and regional allocations under the 2017 round of the Sports Capital Programme are available on my Department's website at http://www.dttas.ie/sport/english/sports-capital-programme-awards-new.
