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

I propose to take Questions Nos. 868 and 869 together.

The Sports Capital Programme is the Government's primary vehicle for supporting the development of sports and physical recreation facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment throughout the country. The most recent round of the programme closed for applications at the end of February 2017. All valid local applications received from the areas referred to by the Deputy received a grant allocation under the 2017 round.  Details of these allocations and all allocations under previous rounds of the programme are published on a county basis on my Department's website at http://www.dttas.ie/sport/english/sports-capital-programme-awards-new.
