Capital grants for arts infrastructural projects are paid from the Cultural Infrastructure and Development subhead of my Department's Vote. The majority of the budget in this subhead is already committed to existing projects that were allocated funding some time ago, with projects that are under construction having priority in this regard. The current budgetary situation does not allow for any new major capital projects to commence at this time. When availability of funds allows, smaller capital grants (limited to €10,000) may be available. Details of the application process for this type of funding, along with the requirements and criteria for the drawdown of these grants, are published on my Department's website at.
