Capital funding for sports infrastructure is provided directly by the Department through a number of publicly funded capital programmes:

Sports Capital Programme

Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme

The development of the National Sports Campus at Abbotstown.

In 2011 the following amounts have been allocated under these headings as follows:

C1 Sports Capital Programme €33m
C2 Grants for Swimming Pools€6.65m
C4 National Sports Campus€3.5m

The Sports Capital Programme is part funded from the National Lottery. The Department does not compile data on allocations on the basis of Dail constituencies but rather on a county basis. Details of all Sports Capital Programme allocations are available on the Department's website.
