Information in relation to allocations made each year but not yet drawn down is not kept on a county basis and the compilation of this information would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work. However, information is kept on the basis of outstanding allocations for each round of the sports capital programme. The amount of outstanding commitments from each of the past five rounds of the programme is contained in the table:
| Sports Capital Programme (subhead C1) — Total Commitments by Year of Allocation | |||||
| Year | Outstanding | Allocation | Paid/Settled | % not drawn down | % drawn down |
| € | € | € | % | % | |
| 2008 | 47,390,000 | 50,250,000 | 2,860,000 | 94.31 | 5.69 |
| 2007 | 59,349,235 | 85,000,000 | 25,650,765 | 69.82 | 30.18 |
| 2006 | 35,114,892 | 91,835,997 | 56,721,105 | 38.24 | 61.76 |
| 2005 | 16,114,984 | 66,233,652 | 50,118,668 | 24.33 | 75.67 |
| 2004 | 12,630,149 | 101,783,014 | 89,152,865 | 12.41 | 87.59 |
