I propose to take Questions Nos. 293 to 298, inclusive, together.

Under the Sports Capital Programme, which is administered by my Department and part funded by the National Lottery, funding is allocated to sporting and community organisations at local, regional and national level throughout the country.

Since 1998 the Government has allocated over €725m in sports capital funding to over 7,400 sports projects across the country. This investment has transformed the sporting landscape of Ireland and has allowed the development of sports facilities across the length and breath of the country. These facilities have dramatically increased the opportunities for all people to engage in a wide variety of sports.

The figures requested by the Deputy are currently being compiled by my Department and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
