The national lottery funded sports capital programme, which is administered by my Department, allocates funding to sporting and community organisations at local, regional and national level throughout the country. The programme is advertised on an annual basis. Applications for funding under the 2005 programme were invited through advertisements in the press on 5 and 6 December last and I announced provisional grant allocations under the programme of €54.385 million in July last. I intend to invite applications to the 2006 programme later this year.
