Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 March 2023
68. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the capital projects that have been undertaken by her Department in Westmeath since June 2020; the funding allocated each year; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10556/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has funded a number of capital projects in Westmeath in the period in question. Typically, these are grant aided projects as opposed to those undertaken directly by the Department.
Expenditure on cultural projects in Westmeath through grants provided by this Department can be found at the following link for the years 2020 and 2021. Expenditure for 2022 will be published in the near future. See: www.gov.ie/en/publication/b1eab-creative-arts-grants-and-funding-previous-schemes/#cultural-development-expenditure
The Sports Capital and Equipment Programme (SCEP) provides grant assistance to sports organisations to develop sports and recreation facilities and purchase non-personal sports equipment. A list of all allocations under all recent rounds, including Westmeath, can be found at: www.gov.ie/en/collection/471ed5-sports-capital-allocations/
Whilst the question relates only to the Department, projects may also be undertaken by agencies of the Department and those details can be requested from the agencies directly.
