As was confirmed in the 2017 Estimates Statement, a new round of the Sports Capital Programme will be open for applications in January with the announcement of allocations expected later in 2017. I expect to announce more details in regard to the new round shortly.
In relation to the supports available for clubs to complete the application, the new Programme will include a new online portal which will make the process more user-friendly. Other supports will include a comprehensive written guide and video guides. Staff in the relevant section of my Department will also be available to assist clubs by phone and email. Details of the numbers to call with queries for each county are published on .
