Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2020
545. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if an organisation (details supplied) can register for funding under the sports capital programme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33245/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe 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.
Grants are available to voluntary, not-for profit sports clubs and community groups such as the organisation referred to by the Deputy.
I would recommend that any organisation planning to make an application under the next round of the Programme register on the Department's online application system - OSCaR (www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie) as soon as possible as applications are only accepted through this channel. I expect a new round of the Programme will be open for applications in the coming weeks and all registered OSCaR users will receive an email notification in this regard.
