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.
