I am pleased to announce that applications are now being sought for a new round of the Sports Capital Programme. This Programme is the main vehicle for Government support for the development of sports facilities and the purchase of equipment. It is open to any organisation, such as the group referred to by the Deputy, with a suitable project to apply for funding under the Sports Capital Programme, subject to the Programme's terms and conditions. More information and application forms can be downloaded from www.dttas.ie. The club in question should also contact the Irish Amateur Boxing Association to see if it could qualify for funding from an equipment grant made to the Boxing Association by my Department.
