In relation to assistance for capital projects, the Sports Capital Programme (SCP) is the primary vehicle for Government support for the development of sports and physical recreation facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment throughout the country.  The Department moved to a new IT system in 2014 which provides a single system for managing all aspects of the SCP. Details of all grants allocated directly to the National Governing Bodies of Sport since this new IT system was introduced are set out in the following table.  Separately, thousands of individual clubs and other units at county and provincial levels which are affiliated to the various National Governing Bodies have received SCP funding over the years.  Details of all allocations to all clubs and organisations under the SCP since 1998 are published on the Department's website:  .

As regards current expenditure funding, Government support is provided through Sport Ireland, which is the statutory body with responsibility for the promotion, development and co-ordination of sport. This includes responsibility for the allocation of funding to the National Governing Bodies of sport.  I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply in relation to funding provided by it to NGBs in the last five years.  I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
