The Sports Capital Programme is the primary vehicle for Government support for the development of sports and physical recreation facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment throughout the country. As a matter of course, officials in the Sports Capital Programmes Division of my Department continually liaise with relevant clubs/organisations from the time of the provisional allocation to the final payment of the grant. In this regard, the officials are always available to discuss any issues that may arise with any sports organisation.

Any clubs which have a Deed of Covenant and Charge in place from previous grants must have a charge with the value of the grant added to the Deed. With regard to the application referred to by the Deputy, my officials instructed the Chief State Solicitor's Office this week in this regard and have been liaising directly with the club to keep them informed of developments and to ensure that all other terms and conditions of the Sports Capital Programme are adhered to.
