|---|---|---|
| Claremorris Athletic and Sport Club | €400,000 | The building of an outdoor 400m running track |
| Nenagh Olympic Athletic Club | €95,900 | The laying of a warm-up track and the purchase of equipment |
| Waterford City Council | €425,000 | The provision of a new 400m track at the Regional Sports Centre to replace the existing surface |
| Athlone Institute of Technology/Athletics Ireland | €737,500 | A 200m international level indoor track |
A further initiative is not planned for 2013.
