All valid local applications under the 2017 round of the sports capital programme, SCP, were allocated a grant. In the case of invalid applications, all those deemed invalid due to the submission of incorrect documentation have been advised they can now submit corrected documentation in order to be considered for funding under the 2018 round of the programme and a full new application is not required. In addition, a small number of applicants have been informed that their 2017 application can now be considered without amendment due to changes to the terms and conditions of the 2018 round being such as to accommodate the original application. Finally, some applications under the 2017 round cannot be made valid by the submission of revised documentation. Typically these are applications that had no sporting content and will require a new application.

All invalid applications under the 2017 round have been contacted in relation to their options. In all cases the applicant is free to make an entirely new application if preferred.

In the case of schools and sports clubs or groups making joint applications, it is a requirement that the landowner makes the application for capital works. Either party can apply for sports equipment. All joint applications must be accompanied by a signed licence agreement between the parties.

All organisations wishing to apply for 2018 SCP funding are advised to consult the Department's guide to making an application and view the YouTube guide to the application form. Links to these resources are available on my Department's website at www.dttas.ie.
