I propose to take Questions Nos. 571 and 599 together.
The Sports Capital Programme (SCP) is the Government's primary vehicle to support the development of sports facilities and the purchase of sports equipment. The most recent rounds of the programme were in 2012, 2014 and 2015.
The possibility of opening a new round of the SCP was considered as part of the overall 2017 estimates process. Now that this process is complete, a new round will be opened for application in January and I expect to be announcing the details shortly.
