The Sports Capital Programme 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.

Grants are available to voluntary, not-for profit sports clubs and community groups such as the organisation referred to by the Deputy.

I would recommend that any organisation planning to make an application under the next round of the Programme register on the Department's online application system - OSCaR (www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie) as soon as possible as applications are only accepted through this channel. I expect a new round of the Programme will be open for applications in the coming weeks and all registered OSCaR users will receive an email notification in this regard.
