The following capital grant programmes have been delivered by my Department since 2008 - the Sports Capital Programme, the Local Authority Swimming Pools Programme, the ACCESS Programme and other arts capital projects. Payment of grants allocated under these programmes will continue this year in line with the spending allocations set out in the 2011 Estimates for Public Services and Summary Public Capital Programme. In addition, in each of the years since 2008, my Department has allocated funding to agencies and bodies under its remit for expenditure on certain capital programmes and projects. Funding has been provided to Fáilte Ireland for expenditure on the Tourism Product Development Scheme; funding has been allocated to the Irish Film Board for the provision of development and production finance to the independent film and television production sector; and funding has been provided to the National Sports Campus Development Authority for the development of the Sports Campus. Funding for these programmes and projects will continue in 2011. The Arts Council has also in past years been allocated funding for capital grants

In 2008, 2009 and 2010 funding was provided from my Department's Vote for the redevelopment of the Lansdowne Road stadium and this project has now been completed.
