I propose to take Questions Nos. 1531 and 1564 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. On 21 December last, Minister Ross and I announced that €30m is being made available under the 2017 Sports Capital Programme to develop sports infrastructure around the country.
Applications will be accepted on my Department's dedicated online applications site www.sportscapitalprogramme.iefrom the 23 January 2017 to the 24 February, 2017. The guide to making an application is also available on www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie.
