On 7 May 2004 I announced provisional allocations to 717 projects totalling €50.8 million in funding under the national lottery-funded 2004 sports capital programme, which is administered by my Department. Details of these allocations are available on my Department's website, dast.gov.ie. In addition I have approved a grant of €500,000 to the Olympic Council of Ireland towards the acquisition of a new headquarters for the OCI. As at the end of April 2004, an amount of €11.72 million has been approved and paid in 2004 to capital projects for which grants had previously been allocated under the sports capital programme.
