In the 2009 Estimates, €56m has been provided in my Department's Vote, for grants for sporting bodies and the provision of sports and recreational facilities part funded by the National Lottery. This provision is to cover payments to be made this year from the C-1 sub-head. No decision has been made with regard to future rounds of sports capital grants.
