Last year, an allocation of €150 million was divided between clubs, schools, community groups, associations and sporting bodies all over the country. It was one of the biggest ever cash injections for grassroots sports in the history of the State and was very welcome. I understand a full review is taking place of the sports capital programme and it will be published shortly. When will the applications open for 2023-24? Last week, we learned of the closure of the immigrant investor programme to future applicants. This came as a hammer blow for many sporting organisations that would have sought to present an application for large-scale or medium-scale capital projects. There is certainly an appetite out there to get applications ready. I would appreciate an update on the review.
