The application period for the 2017 Sports Capital Programme closed on 24 February 2017. By that date 2320 applications were received and these will be assessed by officials in my Department over the coming months. The terms and conditions of the Sports Capital Programme make it clear that no late applications can be accepted. As part of my Department's submission on the mid-term review of the Capital Plan, funding has been sought to run annual rounds of the Sports Capital Programme from 2018 onwards. The timing of any future rounds will be considered after the review of the Capital Plan has been completed and clarity is provided regarding future funding for the Programme.
