To date over 7,400 projects have benefited from the Sports Capital Programme with over €739 million paid out to fund essential sports facilities at national, regional and local level. While no new round of the Programme has been advertised since 2008 the Programme is still very active with €33 million being provided in the Estimates to fund the programme for 2011.

No decision has been made about the timing of further rounds of the Programme.
